Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?
Ugh.
That's all I have to say....
Let me explain.
It's that time of the month for me. This means that I am fertile. It appears that, even though I suffered very severe hemorrhaging just a month ago, obviously there is not going to be a break in my fertility. It's not like we are having to wait for my cycle to return, because......
It's here.
Yep. God has a sense of humor, but frankly, I myself am not laughing.
After losing 4 cups of blood just 4 weeks ago, apparently it's now time to lose some more.
I'm feeling very, very tired and nauseated. I'm fine when I'm sitting still, but when I get up or do anything, nausea comes like a huge wave. So what do you think I'm doing, mowing the lawn? Not exactly. I'm on the computer, checking in with everyone and sharing DETAILS with you people!
I won't appall you with gory details, but I will say that it is very heavy. Thus the weakness, tiredness and nausea, so close on the heels of catastrophic blood loss. My blood count was still very low last week, but oh well!
My husband has told me to take it very, very easy for the next couple of days. And in an effort to staunch the flow, I had a cup of red raspberry leaf tea, which is usually wonderful for a bad period or PMS, and is very helpful if you suffer from insomnia, as red raspberry leaf contains large amounts of readily available calcium. I recommend it for those of you who have bad periods and severe PMS.
I also have a headache when I stand up. This is due to anemia. It went away a couple of weeks ago, but now it's back.
Can I just have some chocolate here???

You poor thing : / I wish I could bring you some chocolate. At least you have a great excuse to sit on the computer for hours and not get all those things I..oops you should be doing done. I think sleep/rest is the best medicine. So do yourself a favor and get lots and lots of sleep/rest. You will get better way faster. Do I sound like a mom or what-lol And I hope you/me can find some chocolate-heheheeee

You can have chocolate so long as it's with a side of steak.
Listen to your husband, okay? And don't hesitate to go to the doctor if need be.
Love,
Marsha

If I could, I would bring you a gigantic hamburger, or a nice juicy steak. 9 years ago, I was severely anemic and needed some blood. I totally remember the feeling. Just laying on the couch, not being able to move. Standing up with the fear of passing out. I had 6 month old at the time who of course of crawling all over even upstairs. Boy that was hard. I also remember craving double cheeseburgers. Are you taking iron supplements? Spinach has iron. I would make spinach dip and eat that. :-) Although, I would tell you to have someone else make it for you! I pray you get better soon!
