My time, I was second

  My time, I was second

Pic of the day;

I am feeling like this old man after seeing a doctor whose great grandpa I could be!

 For today…

Yesterday was my time to see the doctor. I was disappointed, my doctor was traveling, so I met with his substitute.  She did not have BAD news, but neither did she have GOOD news. 

For the first time I saw a Dr. who was not proud of my blood work.  She asked if I had any complaints and I mentioned I am noticing cold temps now; before my Covid, loss of weight experience I could always stand cold weather with no complaint. She wasn’t very clear about the situation but said it like I should know, “Well sir, you are anemic, and with a low red blood count that feeling cold is common.”

“I AM ENIMIC?” I asked.

She went on to say my Red blood count is low and she was prescribing Iron and Vitamin C.

I have always pictured an anemic person as no energy, and sickly.  She said I will tire easily because I do not have enough Reds to carry the oxygen to my lungs and body parts where needed.

I sorta informed the young lady that I am probably the most energetic OLD man she has ever known.  I do not stop working much.

NOW FUNNY THING!!  TODAY, I HAVE WORKED GATHERING LIMBS, breaking AND BURNING THEM, it is only 3 PM and I am tired.  LOL  MEthinks it is the power of suggestion.  ;-)

A lady at church suggested I eat  beef liver (I love liver and onions!!), she said it helped her be less anemic.  Now that I think of it, I must like pork liver because at our home that would be what we had from ‘hog killing’ time. At least I hope hog liver is even better for my problem than beef.

I would rather eat food to help me but I will take the meds she has prescribed.

Are you or have you  been Anemic?

PS

Things must not be bad, she said I could talk it over with my Doctor NEXT YEAR,.  I have an appt On Sept 2025!
