Does anyone have a horseshoe I can borrow?

Score one for the good guys!! The office manager absolutely tripped over herself apologizing to me. Asked what she could do to make it up. Asked if I would mind if she'd check in on me to see how I'm doing. I read that as, "Can I call and make sure you don't die. That way I'll know if your family  will be suing us wrongful death?"

I told her it was simply unacceptable and they need to review their checks and balances to find out where the breakdown happened. I also told her I did not expect to see a bill for yesterday's visit. She said she would take care of that personally and said, "Oh, absolutely no bill will be sent. You should not pay for this."

All in all, short of actually having had effective medical care, I couldn't have asked for it to go better.

I don't know about the sandwich board, but I will be getting a sandwich with a side of smoked gouda pasta and a pint of A negative.

And not that it is any surprise, but you totally stole my line about the location of the horseshoe. I know a few folks that have them there! :)

Sounds familiar to me HEHE.

You should not pay for any further visits if you decide to stick them, with the money we pay for healthcare nowadays this is people's lives they are dealing with get it straight.

If you at all feel really bad with this cardiac scare thing hanging over you, go to the ER quick or call Ambulance lickity split (not banana split) Don't know your whole medical history but getting my ass to the ER saved my life so don't think twice about it if you have to go.

Oh great now your a vampire that sucks. Walking around in the daytime negative 0 best blood type from what I know.

Call a ferrier to get best prices on horseshoe or try TSC.

Get better and sharpen those fangs.

Bubbzzz

LMAO about the TSC. My friend just moved from our town out to a much more rural area. She posted on facebook that she was now offically a redneck since she'd been to the Tractor Supply Company. Creepy gets creepier I tell you! Can't make this stuff up!

Nope. They will not be seeing me again. The new doc sounds great and his nurse has been AWESOME. Helped talk me off the ledge today. Calm and reassuring, but all business. Gave me very concrete signs to look for to indicate I am having an issue. Are you sure I can't just call for a banana split? That would be cool if there was an ice cream delivery service. 30 minutes or less or you get  a free milkshake!

I tested out my fangs today on that office manager. They are all sharpened up and ready to go! Worked like a charm. I am A negative--apparently only 15% of the population is. So even my blood is unique. I do love my meat rare--maybe I am part vampire. That would suck--badumdumbdumberdumbestering.

Nighty nite Bubbles.

We just get stranger by the day don't we. I love TSC got one 4 minutes from my house, go there once in a while.

Why give them the chance to finish you off make sense. Glad you found someone new who gives a rats ass that's cool. I have never seen a concrete sign, if you do please take a pic and post it for me would ya. We all know your having issues, your just now catching on. We have an ice cream delivery service out here, and i know schwans delivers in your area (CIG) might take longer than 30 minutes though.

How did she taste? Badumberdumbestdumbdumb Where are they going? Lucky charms, me being cereal killer I'm down. So I guess your ability to feed was just reduced by 85% to bad. Meat easy to find, not all that rare Grog would enjoy steak tar tar with you. I like my **** charbroiled yo and I'm the one that works nights what up with that.

I got your bubbles

What is even at a TSC and do I need to go? This isn't going to be another place I'll be addicted to like Whole Paycheck, is it? 

You are just too quick for me these days. I can barely keep up with you. I must be low on iron if that is the case! I'm sure Grog knows where concrete sign is. He carved one many times. His favorite is Exit Only--no retrieving horseshoe from him. I have so many issues, I cancelled the subscription. Ice cream delivery there? You could just reach out into one of those 4ft snow drifts and you've got yourself a snow cone. Don't eat the yellow ones!

You really are silly vanilli--meat easy to find, not rare--LOL! I told you Dad was a wholesale meat guy--if anyone knows where to find good meat it's me! 'Bout to tear into my Omaha steaks here in a minute. And I do have hubby convinced good steak is doctors orders so out we go tonight! Are you another steak murderer with your charbroiled yo? Guess you and hubby could share a big old steak because he literally orders his steaks like this, "Can I have mine well done burnt?" Oh, it's a crime against cows!  Much like our crimes against obesity. Dad is rolling over in his grave. Let me guess, you put ketchup on it too? Ugh...

Thank you for helping serenade me with the youtube video. I'm so relaxed now, I'm far less likely to have a coronary, thank you! Creepy alert--one of my dearest friends used that song as the background music on her wedding video. He does have an incredibly relaxing voice. Wonder what he weighs? I think I have to draw the line at Michael Buble. Not sure I've even heard his songs, but the name alone keeps me from wanting to tune in.

And you know that your new moniker is totally gonna stick for a good long while now that I know it irritates you!

Talk to you soon...Bubbles Cracking. Myself. Up. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Tractor Supply Company ding dong, your city folk so your not missing out much, but when in season they do have baby bunnies and chicks and ducks you can go buy then grow em and roast and eat em up yum.

That's what she said HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's what I hope she'll say HAHA! Fire this way what it for I don't know. Choclate softserve cone my favorite.

Becareful don't go around saying that the wrong person HEHE! I want that **** double dead when it hits the table. Your the kind of girl that's like, run the steer by I'll carve off what I want and ride the rest home dumdumdumdumdum (western music) eeewww. I like my stuff with a char, toast, mac and cheese, steak, burger, oh yeah baby. Actaully I don't use ketchup or steak sauce will eat it the way it is thank u very much.

Your welcome, he has since passed but he was about 750 at his highest he was a big boy. Creepy get creepier that's how we roll. You don't like Micheal Buble WTF you missed his christmas special? Thank god I couldn'****ch it either. Actaully watched some Lawrence Welk x-mas stuff, talk about Wholesome Milktoasty Americana WOW!

Nothing irritates me but itchy skin.

Careful cracking yourself up with the socks and your daughter crammed up in there you may bot have much room left.

Oh this is something, I can help you with.. oh yeah... I had Ferritin level of 4 about 6-7 mos ago. Infact, that is why I delayed my PS. So, I started with the expensive Proferrin 3xs times a day. There is a lot of literature out there that states that the animal based iron is easier to absorb.. less constipation etc. Well, I got my next Iron from Vitalady. Tender Iron 60 mg Iron with VitC. Studies says Vit C help with absorption. This is true for RNYrs due to low acid levels etc.. I started taking 2 Iron capsules in the morning and 2-3 at night. My ferritin levels increased 2-3 point per months..My Ferritin was last tested at 17 which is huge. Ferritin is the bodies iron stores therefore.. no iron everything else can go to hell really fast. My Dr did NOT want to do the transfusions.. He advised against it.
There is a study by bariatric vitamin company.. *****commends no more than 200mg Iron per day for RNYrs with anemia. I up'd mine to 300 mg cause I am 5'11 and an amazon with viking blood. 
I got my blood tested monthly for 6 mos and still take 3 Iron capsules at night..

I hope you know that there are a lot of things that block Iron absorption..Tannins, caffeine, copper, Calcium, Fiber to list a few.. So try to not take any of things things with in an hour or 2 of your Iron..

I also tried eating Iron enriched foods like Farina, Liverwurst, ...it was disgusting.. I prefer the capsules.

Good luck..

Michelle

Good to hear, but I'm not sure that I feel comfortable not getting the infusion based on what I'm hearing and reading about the potential side effects of my #'s. However, I will definitely be bookmarking this and I have an email into Vitalady for any other suggestions on how to maintain once my levels are safe.

From everything I've read, our dietary iron consumption really doesn't do us much good given the way our bodies malabsorb. Never know quite what to believe.

Sometimes the weird coincidences on this board freak me the heck out. I have never had Farina in my life. Never. Not once. BUT, I bought some yesterday. Good news is that my girls and I love it. I'm so pleased because with growing little ones I worry about their nutritional intake, especially calcium, and it has as much calcium as a glass of milk. My oldest hates milk, but I make the farina with it and she can't tell and it is a double calcium whammy.

Liverwurst--there will never be a coincidence with me and liverwurst!

Thanks again and have a great weekend! 

Let us know how the infusions go.. you'll be feeling better in no time..

Just think, you're so *****y with a Ferritin level of 4, just think how you'll feel when its normal.. Oh my goodness.. you're gonna be something else.. :) 


Michelle

Holy cow--I may just get banned! I was thinking about what it will feel like to feel normal energy-wise again. I've had lowish numbers for a while--just nothing this bad. My plastic surgeon said some people's bodies just acclimate to the low iron and aren't as symptomatic as others. Must be some truth to that or you'd think I'd be draggin' butt all the time! Granted, there has been a day or 10 that I've crawled back into bed when the girls get off to school for a little extra shut eye. I just thought it was being tired from the surgery.

I'll let you how things go!

Have a good weekend!
