Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Sorry I'm late- holding steady at 135.  I'm not sure I'll ever see the 120's again without amputating something... but I keep telling myself- that's okay- I don't need to be a size zero or 2.  I have a normal BMI and I am healthy!!!  :)
It has been CRAZY!!!
Friday had my 6 hour iron infusion, oil change and then soccer practice.  Saturday was a soccer game and then a birthday party and then a soccer party.  Well- go out to the garage to take the triplets to the bowling birthday party and my car is on fire!!!  Yes- on fire!!!  Not horrifically engulfed in flames but burning none the less.  The moron oil change place put the wrong size oil filter on and then didn't tighten something so the oil dropped down onto the cadillidic (sp?) converter which heats up to 600 degrees easily and started melting the air-damn type thing that goes under the car.  My husband pulled out charred remains so we originally thought that the oil place left a rag or something in there.  The firemen said the plastic fumes are terrible and to get the kids away- so I take them to the party...I dealt with the car all day Monday...
Today- gosh is it still Tuesday?- yes- oh but it was divine!!!  I met with the hematologist.  He's head of the biggest practice here in the Springs (which we're not too big) and he spent over an hour with me!!!  FINALLY!!!  I am listened to and asked how I've been able to function...
Anyways- the current treatment is 6 iron infusions over the next 6 weeks and then we'll test my blood again.  Yippee!!!  My PCP was so afraid of making my iron levels toxic and just never understood why they never took- well I knew one infusion a month was never gonna cut it when my ferritin level is 3.  So finally- a plan- and I feel better already!!!
I'm glad everyone is doing well - and Steph- you thought it was water weight!!!  :)
Oh- one other thing.  One of the triplets got their scissor priliges taken away at Kindergarten today and will not be allowed to use them for some time.  he was cutting his hair.  We got the boys haircut last week- but I guess Colton wanted it shorter.  :)
Have a good one!!!

WOW Brit...it was truly never a dull moment for you on Monday!!  I am glad that you caught the car fire before it got out of control!  That had to scary and also upsetting.  Did the oil change ppl take responsiblity and are they going to take care of the damages? 

And how funny that your son wanted to cut his hair! Kids...boy with out them what would we do for 1) exercise and 2) entertainment as parents?? lol

Glad the hemotologist has a plan for you now too..please keep us posted on how things go with that! 

Steph

Oh man Brit - what a week from he!! for you huh? And this isn't even in the same week when you had a bullett go through your wndow right??? You poor thing ((((jhugs)))))))

I hope those infusions work for you. I know to well that you need that energy to keep up with those triplets. EEK! I couldn't imagine, my twins wear me down quickly!!
