Im off work again today , can you believe it? so i have been outside messing around, not a whole lot to do right this minute ...not going to pull the flowers up until they quit blooming. so as long as i have the weed up which i do at the moment im set to sit. lol

Have to go today or tomorrow and buy some straw so i can be prepared for winter. before we leave for the winter we will have to empty the ponds and clean the pumps up and put them away...lot of things to do then but right now just sit and enjoy things.

Hello, first chance in a few days I have had long enough to think about to write. I had  my outside dog attacked by a pit bull/rotwieller that  belongs to our neighbors. Everyone was shocked. My dog Casey, is between 12 and 15 years old so it has been rough on her. She had surgery and lots of damage inside. Dr said many stitches and outside she probably has at least 50 stitches. It looks like a frankinstien dog. Vet said today it was no longer life threatening. Thank God. She is such a good dog. The neighbor has been great, they are paying the vet bill and he shot his dog! We never wanted that but two days after it attacked my dog, the owner went to let him out of the pen and it growled at the owner so he just shot it. Shocked all of us. Our neighbor said he had to because if he would turn on its owner and after it attacked our dog, he could never trust it again.

The weather has been wonderful. Been doing alot of things to just get ready for the cold weather. Putting things away, cleaning up and just whatever we could do just to be outside. LOL

I go to get blood drawn on Tuesday to check my ferritin levels, I am still getting IV iron and go for the next treatment in December, I am down to once every three months and will do that for 9 months. Dr. H wants it checked to see how it is doing. Will let you know how that is.

Love reading about all of you and your trials of life. wish I lived close to the meetings.

Hugs
Barbara

Hello Barbara, looks like you are the only one that is going to post with me today.....
That  is so sad about your outside dog. such a shame and a shame that the owner of the other dog had to put him down. wonder what happened to him to make him change and to even growl at the owner like that too.

i know what you mean about getting things ready for winter. we have been putting up things and found a good buy on covers for tables and chairs out side...will have to put up the awing and seat cushions of the swings too. just a lot to do...but now that things are winding down from summer im sort of anxious to get it all done and then we can take off for the winter....i will be glad to go to warmer weather.....

I just had my blood work all done and it was faxed to Dr. H...Margie called and said it was all great...
I ask her about my ferritin and she said it was wonderful...she ask what i did and i told her i did a iron pill daily every day...and had since i had surgery. she said well what ever you are doing keep it up ...i told her i also too 500 mg of vit c with the iron daily as i had read that it help your body utilize it..usually it seems that people start getting low on some things around when they are out about 3 or 4 years...

Hi Mo board,

Jan what kind of iron do you take, I had my labs done and my iron is on the low side but noone said anything about adding iron. I am very tired all the time and am bruising very easy..I want to add some iron and see if that helps. I thought we had to take a certain kind of iron as my pcp says it is hard on the stomach..

Beverly i take  EASY IRON  from Puritans Pride.....i know that i have always had problems when younger that my  Ferritin was always low and i could take iron and all it did was make my bowels black but this is Iron Glycinate, dont know if that makes a difference or not but i havent had any problmes at all with iron being low.......
