*sigh*  I'm really sorry.  I had to take my family cat of 19! years a few back to be put down.  He was my very first pet and I had gotten him when I was in kindergarten.  My mom didn't have the ability to do it, so lovely me, I did it in my mid 20's.

My rants:

1) I still can't eat comfortably.  We went out last night to Olive Garden for hubby's birthday, and it just about killed me afterwards.  The things that are the absolute worst on my pouch are the best things for me.  I could have chowed down on carbs and have had less pain, but I didn't want to do that.

2) The new meds aren't the miracle response that I was promised.  This sucks ass.  No, we don't have an answer as to "what do we do next"?

3) I still can't take my supplements.  My iron still sucks totally and I can't even take any iron to help mitigate the damage.  See 1, 2, and 4.  I'm REALLY worried that I'll be heading towards infusions sooner than later.

4) I hate that I don't have enough energy to go to the gym AND maintain my house.  It's either a BIG mess in the house and I'm good to myself to go to the gym.. or I have a spotless house and car, but no time at the gym.  Probably has to do with my lack of iron levels.

5) The kids are both sleeping in Kaitlin's room, but my sleep is still only around a 60% efficiency unless I take some meds to help.

6) I have an event tomorrow that requires me to bake.  And I don't know what to fix.  It's Swedish, so the normal answers don't apply.

I'm sorry that your mom made you do that. I thought about asking Brittany to do it because she doesn't live here anymore and realized how selfish that would make me. It would still traumatize her even though she isn't close with the dog.

I have had one blood transfusion for iron and one iron infusion. I much prefer the infusion. I did the one time 7 hour one and it took really well. I have not had another although I am pretty behind in my labs and am making an appointment to get everything checked as soon as I can. I think you should just go ahead and get an infusion.

As for the gym and house, I was doing the Wii Fit everyday and walking. I decided that it was too much and I don't care if it slows my weight loss down I can only do the walking. It freed up my mind not to have all these "to do" lists in my brain.

I saw your post on Facebook and wanted to respond. I swear by only weighing once a week. I have only seen a gain once since I started. It feels good to only go down. It was driving me crazy to gain a pound overnight when I exercised and ate right all day. Good luck with your weight loss and health issues.

He won't order the infusions until my hct and hgb both tank.  The oral iron I was taking was enough to keep THOSE up but not build my stores.  We had just upped my dose of iron when I had to get off them. 

It's hard for me to stay off the scale.  It's one of those OCD things I suppose.
