Well........this time at the Drs my WBC was "normally" low but my red blood cell count was also low. The first time this has happened. She didn't want to give me a shot for that, it has it's own side effects

She wants me to build it up on my own first. (gee, now I'll have to look that info up

) So tomorrow: shot for WBC, Friday: WBC shot, and next Wed go get more blood work and hope that my RBC is normal.

Anyone understand this blood count stuff? She said mine was 9.9 and it should be around 13. I'm supposen I should eat red meat and stuff like that to build up my RBC, does that make sense? No wonder I felt so tired this time.

Off to googleland..........

Thinking of you

Rest and reward yourself for your efforts with any decadent thing you want.

They say the heat will break starting next week..... after virtually 2 months straight of a furnace. So maybe you will be able to enjoy the outdoors very soon

I just cannot read through 94 pages so I want to say that I had a huge cyst on my ovary, so the doc removed the ovacy, cyst and the fallopian tube and tied off the other side while in there. I had that done the month after gall bladder surgery. My cyst surgery was fullopening (due to the size) so I was cut from start of pubic hair up to belly button. Both surgerys were not too bad, the worst part was recovering from the anesthesia, the pain in my shoulder from the gas was immense!!! I was on 2 500mg vicodin every 4 hrs otherwise if I tried to go without the shoulder pain from the gas would put me in tears and the pain would make me cry worse and then I couldnt breathe as I was hyperventilating because I could not breath deeply enough without the pain. Vicodin was my friend........ My cyst turned out to be nothing, but have an extensive mothers family history of cancer so was very worried. They found my cyst when they went in to remove the gall bladder, took a pic of it while in there. Try waking up from one surgery as the doc is explaining something to your husband about tumors, cysts and surgery. I was freaked!

Hope your doing well!!!

Luna,
Just checking in on you. How is everything? How is the blood count?
When I was prego with 1st DD my midwife had me taking liquid chlorophyll and alfalfa to raise my blood count. Redheads tend to have lower blood count and bleed more than others. It worked. Or I wouldn't have been able to have her at home. Probably wasn't the best idea anyway but that's how things go. Thought I would mention it.
Anyway, hope you are enduring the oppressive heat and humidity. Global warming that isn't happening, huh. Have a great weekend.
Amie
