3.15.2010 - lab results

My platelets are back up to normal - yayyy!   But now I'm anemic - booo.   So I've got to start taking iron supplements.  Oh joy.  But at least this explains why I'm so tired all the time and why I've been having more-frequent-than-usual headaches.   Regardless, the end result (i.e. BabyBrother) is more than worth the minor and temporary setbacks.

    yeah - i've heard! I'm actually going to try to bring up my iron with my diet first. It's not critically low - I was just barely below the limit. If it's still low (or has dropped) when they recheck it in a few weeks I'll try the supplements.
