I had the day off work today and it was a busy one to say the least.
I got to do all my chores and ran around like a maniac darting from one place to another. I lined up in banks, post office and paid bills, bills, bills. I had to freak out as I got paid on Monday and my entire pay went on bills alone. Thank God for my “Magical Money Stash” which I have hidden away.
Fuck life is just so fucking expensive. I don’t understand how people can get ahead in life. My entire pay was spent on bills alone, and that doesn’t include fuel for my car, nor my grocery shopping. I live on my own as well so I guess I have it a lot easier than some and my bills are probably a lot less than say for a family of 4.
I managed to squeeze in a Dharma Yoga class in as well. I love my yoga but I prefer Bikram hands down. If I feel energized I may just do a Bikram class tonight.
Well like my blog entry is titled the blood results are in. I held my breath in anticipation of the results, as I know something is going on. I know my body and I know when it aint working properly.
Well the good news is that my platelet count is normal, my red cells and leucocytes are normal and my Iron levels are the best they have EVER been. What pathologists call “normal scale” is anywhere between 9.0 – 27.0 and in the past my iron had dropped down to 4.2 but now I am up to a whopping 19.6. I am stoked as I don’t have anaemia, but my Ferritin levels are on the really low side.
Time for class students. How to define ferritin? Okay the best way to describe it is that ferritin is an iron-containing protein complex, they say it is found principally in the intestinal mucosa, bone marrow, spleen and liver. Ferritin functions as the primary form of iron storage in the body. Ferritin levels reflect the amount of iron stored in these organs. It has been suggested that low serum ferritin levels can cause fatigue, even in the absence of anaemia.
Which makes a lot of sense as to why I feel so shithouse. My awesome GP, Dr.S has instructed me to up my iron, basically to double my dosage for 3 months straight and then go back for a repeat blood test.
I also got a call from Mr. Wonderful Surgeon who had received a copy of my blood results and he recommended the exact same thing. I was initially concerned that it may be due to my lap band and the fact that I have ceased eating any red meat. Well like Der Fred Reney? Fuck I’m a thickhead sometimes. I’ve got to say Mr. Wonderful Surgeon has such a downright sexy voice. He really is hot for an over 60ish kinda man. Ooohhhlala. Belissimo. Mwah!! I best stop.
I am in the process of cataloging my CD's which is taking me forever!!! I best get back to it.
Peace Out

P.S - I saw this hilarious poster and felt compelled to share!!!

LOL, when Mr Wonderful Surgeon (look how I've adopted your name for him now) was showing me how elastic (or the lack thereof) his skin is compared to mine, he said that's the difference between people of your age and mine... which you can now speculate.
I looked at him and said "That's exactly what I was calculating!!"
Had no idea actually, but 60ish would be right...He seems younger actually.
R,
You and Surgeon just need to stop kidding yourselves and get it on
