I knew I hadn’t been feeling way swift.
Reed kept teasing me that it was just old age.
My doctor, however, diagreed with Reed’s diagnosis.
Seems as though my iron is low.
Realllly low.
So I go in today and start me some IV Iron Therapy.
Yeah. I get to go on all the really fun field trips, eh?
While I’m hooked up to a bag full of iron, will you guys go and leave some comment love for these sweet women who are spreading a whole lot of Parky love?
Simply This, That and the Other.
Kim is the talent behind Parker’s Christmas Quilt Raffle. She takes amazing to new heights.
Kim has just added a handmade stocking to Parker’s raffle. There are quite a few things you can win besides the quilt and the stocking.
For those of you who have already entered the raffle, I’ve got a list of your names ready to give to Kim.
I’ll be back later with an update……….complete with lots of Parky pictures. He’s been one very busy guy.
Which is code for “My Christmas Tree Will Never Be The Same.”
sigh.
Hi Tammy — I came over from Kim’s. I had to do the iron therapy a few years ago — I took my knitting along while I sat there for several sessions. Like you, I just thought I was getting old LOL. You’ll be AMAZED at how much better you feel! Good Luck!
I suffer from exactly the opposite problem – haemochromatosis, which is a build up of excess iron which my body doesn’t get rid of. In order to combat it I’m currently having a pint of blood removed every 2 weeks to try and make me more anaemic!
my iron is low to, I had to start iron pills, they are tearing my stomach up, how did you get to do IV therapy and how low was HGB???

Hey there friend … hope those Venofer infusions have you feeling perky no time! And bundle up. Low iron can cause you to get oh so much colder as well.
Sorry about the IV, too bad some mega iron pills couldn’t be taken instead. Hope you are feeling better and all is well.
Can’t wait to see Parker and the tree!
I’ll be praying that the IV therapy will do the job and you will start to feel great soon.

Hey Tammy,
I guess you misunderstood about the stocking. The stocking I made is for PARKER and it was a surprise!! I hope you’ll still be surprised especially with what will be coming inside of the stocking!!! It was so much fun to meeting PARKER today! I can see why you LOVE him soooo much!! Thanks for sharing him with all of us that follow your blog!!
Sorry you’re not feeling well, Tammy. Praying for a speedy recovery and thankful it isn’t anything worse.
I’m sorry for your new challenge. I guess the good thing is they found a solution for you so now it is a temporary problem. I’ll send some prayers your way.
Wow! I am glad they found out what the problem was and can correct it! Good luck with the treatment and please let us know how you are doing! As for the tree – I am sorry it is getting beaten up, but so happy that Parker is having fun with it!!
Praying for you and your family….
Bummer! Hopefully you will be feeling better after and more like yourself.
I hope you and Parker feel better soon!
Oh Tammy, I am so sorry! I hope you are feeling much stronger now! I had very low iron with every pregnancy and I KNOW how drained it makes you! Sending you big hugs
Cant wait to see Parky Pics! I could use a smile
Love to all,
Amy
