The day before my vacation the doctor called me to tell me I was anemic. Really, really anemic. He put me on this slow release iron pill and the rest is history. The first 5 days was fine. The last day of my vacation I had the worst stomach pains. I survived them, though the plane ride back was not fun.
So I started taking them every other day per doctors orders. Still, horrible stomach pains. A week after I got back Dave and I went out to breakfast and started an adventure to Disney Quest.
After heading into a few games, I stated that I felt sick and dizzy. I tried my best to stay as long as I could but there was no hope. I had to get home. I spent the rest of the afternoon in bed. Dave made soup for me to slurp.
For the past two weeks I have been either at work hunched over or at home on the couch/in bed with some of the worst stomach pains in the world. SO here are some lessons I've learned from the couch.
1. Don't tell people you think will help. They will just think you are preggers and rumors will fly. I'm pretty sure everyone at work thinks I have a bun in the oven. NOT POSSIBLE PEOPLE. NOT POSSIBLE!
2. Lying around, while it feels good, won't help. You need to get up and get out. You need to move around. Your stomach may hurt, you may not be able to stand, but you need fresh air. You need life around you.
3. It's a great time to read a good book. Currently I am reading Pour Your Heart Into It by Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. It's been really enlightening especially because I am hoping to own my own coffee shop one day. So find a good book and read!
4. The commercial for Sittercity.com is awesome! haha I need to get that cookie cutter for all of the states!
I am hoping to see the doctor again in the next few weeks. I have to wait for an opening at his office. Please pray that the Lord gives him the knowledge to help figure out what is wrong with me and how we can work together to fix it. I am willing to change my diet or do whatever it takes to feel better.
