Strangely, I was happy to have a low hemoglobin four years ago (and still do most of the time), because the blood transfusions work so much faster than the iron infusions for me.
And, yes, I had to have my seventh surgery a few months later. This came only after my doctor told me I would never eat again if I didn’t have yet another operation. At the time I was depending on TPN for all of my nutrition, so that was that. Over two years later, once again, I find two of my doctors recommending that I should go back on TPN feeds. Gee wiz, easy for them say! LOL! I have a huge family obligation this weekend and will consider it more thoroughly when I get back.
I hate going on long trips when I’m sick, but I am just going to have to smile and suck it up… yet again.
I hope and pray that everyone is doing better than I am.
♡ you!
