I woke up late to get a doctors appointment, i phoned and managed to get one in the afternoon.
We got up quite late and i didn't have time to help Cath before i had my first CAT session.
The session went alright, it was grueling, but he hit the nail on the head when it came to my mother. We started looking at my life from birth. I had to recollect qualities of my parents in the earl... -

If I had my way I'd wish them away,
but I can't find the magic inside of me.
I'll give my best,
'cause I can give no more,
but your problems aren't solved so easily.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
If I could heal all the pain that you feel,
I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside.

Thursday, November 19, 2009
Last night i found it hard to get off to sleep, took me nearly 2 hours. So in the end i had to take some Clonazapam to get me off to sleep, which then had a knock on effect this morning, in other words i didn't want to get up and Cath came to bed for a bit.
We tidied the house and rushed out to my 12pm appointment with the recovery team. There had been some mix up of appointment, b... -

Close Encounter at the Doctors Office
Thursday, November 19, 2009 |
A few days ago I went to the doctors office, and I had to get a blood draw. About 10 minutes after the blood draw, and they said I needed ANOTHER blood draw. Then, I got home, and I got a look at the blood lab sheet, and my Bilirubin LVL was 2.8 and that is not good. I found out that it was 3.3 when I went in, i'm lucky, with such a high exercise rate, and realizing I cant go v...1 Recommendation -

I just got back from the school event and I enjoyed myself. My T was yelling the whole time but I didn't let it take over. I talked to my GD teacher's, watched her corus performanace and took her to the book fair. I bought her and her sister 3 books each. It was nice to see my GD room, her classmates and all the GP.
So I've been out of the house 2 times this wee...2 Recommendations

I did keep my goal and went to my GC's school last night to see their desks and rooms plus buy them some books. I talked to as many people as possible and tried to relax and enjoy myself.
Now today I have go to my 3 yr old school and it will be a little more of a challenge because it's sort of formal and a little play and just GP of the 3 and 4 yr olds. But I'm not going to...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

I started today with a positive attitude and with a friend at work and I deciding that we are not going to let our new boss ruin our weight loss success so far. He is very tall and thin and can eat anything he wants to, but we have decided that we are going to continue the healthy eating.
Anyway, this morning is got up and wrote out my food diary for the day ahead of time like I used too.&nb...4 Comments -

Am I just overreacting about what happened with Mat? Every time I try to talk to someone about it, they reply, "That sucks", as if I said to them, "I lost my keys."
Only one person thought that maybe I was going through something when I told him what happened. Vince. I've known him for a while. We're not close friends or anything. More like...

Anemia Information
Anemia (or anaemia), which literally means "without blood," is a deficiency of red blood cells and/or hemoglobin. This results in a reduced ability of blood to transfer oxygen to the tissues, and this causes hypoxia; since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences. Hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells) has to be present to ensure adequate oxygenation of all body tissues and organs.
The three main classes of anemia include excessive blood loss (acutely such as a hemorrhage or chronically through low-volume loss), excessive red blood cell destruction (hemolysis) or deficient red blood cell production. In menstruating women, dietary iron deficiency is a common cause of deficient red blood cell production.
Anemia is the most common disorder of the blood. There are several kinds of anemia, produced by a variety of underlying causes. Anemia can be classified in a variety of ways, based on the morphology of RBCs, underlying etiologic mechanisms, discernible clinical spectra, to mention a few.
