I am getting my 2nd IV Iron treatment today.  I'm still tired, and it's only 10:45am.  But found I'm looking forward to my treatment, each one brings me hope that this will be the one that leaves me feeling more energetic.  I know my hopes are high, they said it could take 6 treatments before I start feeling better, but I'd be happy with even a little better!  My boss today finally "got it" that I can't be superwoman at work right now.  I have about 8 projects assigned to me and she is going to have one of my team members co-lead a few of them.  That's a relief.  I'm tired of worrying about work that isn't getting done, and that just leads to me worrying about my job.  There's a huge project that I really want to take on, but she won't assign me to it if I'm not feeling better because it will involve a lot of extra hours. It doesn't kick off for another month, so I'm just praying that I'll be a new person in a month!! In the meantime, it's just one day at a time...

Yesterday my blood sugars kept diving.  I was running around with my best friend who lives 8 hours away, and just did more than my body could handle.  I could hardly walk to get back to the car when it was time to leave, I'm sure that didn't help!  then I realized I was out in the sun without sunscreen, so have a small sunburn, makes me remember to find a new dermatologist to do a recheck for skin cancer- boy, when it rains it pours!  But my attitude is pretty good today, just LOTS and LOTS of stuff to do!
