Sorry I haven't updated sooner. It's been a crazy month. I had an iron infusion last week , and I have another one (hopefully the last) this week Wednesday. It's a pain though, in the medical center in downtown Houston, a traffic nightmare, and the stupid parking garage didn't even have arrows directing you to any place other than valet or which direction to go. H is taking off work Wed. to drive me; he and my daughter might visit a museum as this hospital is close to the zoo and museum district (easy walking distance). It's not a bad place to hang out to wait, Starbucks inside & everything, charging areas for electronics if I have to hand out and wait for them (being as I have a 9 AM appt.).
Sometimes I think I may be feeling some improvement from the last infusion, other times not. I've been moody lately, not sure if that is bipolar, PMS, or iron related. Up and down a lot. Still seeing the T. Saw the pdoc this week, but he still is not making changes until the iron & anemia get fixed. Hopefully soon! I am sick of doctors, procedures, and blood draws! Still tired but trying to get some organizing done (not only for myself, but my daughter whose room looks like it was hit by a tornado). She gripes about it, but I think she actually enjoys re-discovering things she forgot she owned, giving things she's outgrown to her younger cousins. At the very least, it gets her away from the screen. Outside is already miserable, and ozone action days aren't uncommon either.

I hope those iron treatments work for you. I thought at one time I was iron deficient. I was anemic at one time. But there were no infusions of iron for this. Anyway, its good to be back!
BTW This is the one quote from poetry that I have found very meaningful to me over most of my life. I will copy it here from your sig, since this is so significant to me. It describes in many ways my life. “I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. --Robert Frost”

Tucson, we had to memorize that poem in 3rd or 4th grade, recite it to the class. It’s always stuck with me, and that is the stanza I find most relevant to my life.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
