How are you doing today?
Michelle,
I was anemic prior to my RNY in 2002. The doc put me on a prescription medicine (Chromagen Forte//the generic is Multigen) I take it in the morning, and with dinner, my iron has looked good for a long time, and my PCP is impressed, EVEN THOUGH it took time for my numbers to come up, because of our malabsorption and the stores to build back up in my body, it has all been worth it. If I were you, honestly...... see if you can get an infusion to get everything "jump started" and try the prescription to keep your numbers up. Just my 2 cents.

Jamie,
Thanks for checking! I'm feeling like crap today LOL. Not because of the anemia though...I've caught a lovely summer cold and working OT on top of it. Today is my Friday though so soon it'll be over. I'm just exhausted...i think a nap for lunch today is in order. Sadie is coming down with it as well...oh joy!!
Not sure what's up for our days off. We were supposed to go to the baseball game tomorrow but we think someone took our tickets out of our van...they were in our glove box and now we can't find them. Sooooo we'll hang around here probably. My son smacked up my van the other day too so we have to take that in for an estimate tomorrow as well. We're doing a garage sale next weekend so I need to work on getting all of that in order. Lots to do!
