A few months ago, routine bloodwork came back showing that I am anemic. More bloodwork showed that I was severely anemic. What can I say, when I do something I like to go big. I’ve been on iron since and today I’m going in for a colonoscopy and endoscopy to determine if there is any internal cause.
I also need to go get labs done to see if taking the iron has helped, but I’ll do that tomorrow. My appointment with hematology is mid-January, so I need to get it done soon so that they will have the results.
Next up on my healthcare goals is getting my Nexplanon implant removed, setting up a mammogram, and getting back to the dentist.
It’s hard work, this getting older thing.
In the meantime, I carry on with the day job and writing when I can. I really want a cup of coffee.
Alas, nothing by mouth until after the procedure.
What’s on your agenda this Wednesday before Christmas, readers?
