How nice to have a relative turn up!
A box from Dover arrived today, including your paper-doll book. I’ll let you know when I get it in the mail. I’ll be driving Tom to school most days, so I’ll get by the P.O. regularly.
And I got a New Book Catalog from Dover today...just what I needed...
I began to research some of the herbal/homeopathic remedy books on anemia, and have been putting bits and pieces together of the information I’ve gleaned since the doctor’s phone call last night. It looks like I will be having three units of blood. The hemoglobin didn’t change this morning, but the count is so low that three units is probably a safe amount.
There wasn’t an awful lot of info in the books about foods rich in iron, but according to what I have found so far, raisins are at the top of the list; when I stop at Walmart for my snacks and water for tomorrow, I will add raisins to the list. It’s a good thing I was blessed with a little extra dinero this month. Between the gas to get there and back and the snacks, it will be like a day at the spa...only not quite as fun!
Monday, I have the chemical stress test for my heart, so it’s a good thing I’m having the transfusion tomorrow. At least I won’t be so worn out when they are done with me on Monday. And it will be in the same place I’m going to tomorrow...*sigh*
