long time gone

Been away for awhile. Sometimes life runs away from you, and before you know it, too much time has passed. In my case, I have been just sooo... tired that it's been hard to even get on and post.
I did have my surgery two weeks ago. All went well, and everything was benign. She did find a polyp and removed it. Hopefully all goes well from here. I'll know in a few weeks I guess.
My anemia issues aren't quite as good news. My iron levels did not go up more than a point or two, and that is after taking 325 mg of it THREE times a day. So, now I'm receiving iron intravenously. I've got five treatments. Two last week, and three this week. It's not so bad, and I do believe it's working. I'm starting to have more energy and not having so much trouble breathing. If it doesn't work, then we'll look for more unusual reasons for the trouble. But I'm not worried about that right now. The Lord says not to worry about tomorrow, God will take care of it, so I'm not going to. When the time comes, then I probably will, but for now, I am quite content with just thinking about my current treatments.

I have to go to the chemo department for treatments. Boy, does that make me grateful for the health I do have. For the most part, the other patients are rather cheerful. You can tell some are pretty sick, but they have good attitudes about it. The nurses there are so nice, and sweet. But when I look around, I pray for each of them and thank God that I am not in that boat.

Guess that's all for now. Monday's are pretty busy with our co-op classes. And I still get really tired really quickly. So I have to pace myself on everything, just so I can last the whole afternoon. But, boy, am I glad my mom makes dinner on Mondays. Since she is out of work (like so many), I asked her to make dinner that day of the week, and we are both happy with it. She gets to make things, I have dinner ready when we get home, and with how tired I've been it's a HUGE blessing! She likes to cook, but isn't too crazy with cooking ALL the times, it's never been her strong suit.
