Mini Update! ... Injury and Blood Count.

[debris4spike]

Just had the doctor phone me - to say that everything came back OK, except for the iron levels.  He is waiting one test, but basically there seems no reason for the dip, although it is quite low.

Anyway, I am to carry on with the iron and see what the levels are in a months time.

As to my hand - things are really sore recently!  So that is annoying.  I suppose that I am taking things as normal as I can and where the nerve is damaged and my hand is naturally cold (cold hands .... warm heart syndrome!!)  Then that is aggrevating things.  So over the last few days I have taken to wearing a glove at all times.  Overall it is easier - so hoping this will give the final boost to allow that nerve to repair.

On a more personal note business still seems slow - not good when having to pay bills!

Reassuring to know what it is so something can be done. I often wonder if I should take iron supplements myself. I might enquire when I next see the nurse.

I sympathise - it's not easy being self employed.

Thanks - yes it is worth asking about iron - I have only been taking the tabs a few days and I am already feeling less tired. So thats great

At least it's nothing too serious. Hopefully the iron problem rights itself in a ocuple of months.

Sore hand...I guess that's a sign of healing?

Hope that business picks up once everyone knows you're back in circulation.

[debris4spike]

Yes - everyhting else is coming back great - so all in all good news.

The hand - some of the problem has been just getting on with things and then over-doing it, whilst some has been where the nerve itself is still healing - but now I have worked out keeping it warm, I hope that speeds things up - and if not, I shall start a new fashion!!

yes - 11 weeks away from a business was hard - so it will take as long to tell people I am back!!

I eat a lot of fruit - but few veg; I am not vegetarian ... so will admit I didn't ever think I would run into problems - Oh well, it has now been noted and being sorted out, so that is the main thing!

I'm glad everything seems to be on the mend - sometimes warmth can really help hand injuries (although I'm sure you know that!). Not so good about the business side of things though!

[debris4spike]

It's weird you saying that I am sure to know - yes if I was talking to you, I would tell you warmth, but I am hopless at working out my own treaments! The warmth is slowly working - so I am setting a new style - do you think it will catch on??

Well with the business I forget that I was MIA for 11 weeks - so it will take a similar time to filter back again, I suppose!!

YAY on the test results...Boo on the pain and slow business (if I lived there I'd be a patient in a nano-second!).

Hope to have time this week to catch up on the wonderful county by county entries.....RL has eased somewhat and I may have more online time (YAY).

{{{hugs}}}

If you go back the counties are now interlinked - the last one being Devon So start there then you can work back to see if you have missed any!

RL - who needs it?

Thanks

I'm glad your blood tests came back okay, but I'm sorry your hand is still bothering you. Has your doctor given you an estimated healing time?

Our economy sucks over here, so I sympathize with your slow business. Crossing my fingers that it will pick up soon.

(((big hug)))

[debris4spike]

Thanks for the crossed fingers - I daren't do that ... LOL

No time - it is really waiting for nerve healing ... so I am trying to eat Marmite sandwiches (it was either that or Guiness) for the vit B

Still - I am already feeling less tired, so that is great.

Thanks for the hugs - will hug back ... making sure I don't trip you over!!

[cordykitten]

*crosses fingers for your hand*
If you are low on iron you're tired often (as you said you were). So hopefully that will be better soon *hugs*

[debris4spike]

Yes, I already feel a little less tired - combination of the iron and also knowing that things are getting sorted out - relaxing has helped!

Thanks for the crossed fingers - I daren't do that yet!!

OOOooops - forgot to say - I presume you saw bendybendy s latest post with the Capn John icons ... this being one.

[cordykitten]

*nods* Already saw and snagged, thank you :-D
Very good ones and a lot too. I just have no room for them.

[winsomeone.livejournal.com]

Oh thank goodness everything else is good. I'll keep hoping for the iron to raise, too.

[debris4spike]

Yes - great to know that everything else is going well - due to have the iron re-tested in a month's time. (Just after my trip to see James - so adrenaline levels will be up, if nothing else!

[spikereader.livejournal.com]

Just as Dr Carolyn surmised :D I'm really pleased everything's OK, keep up with the iron tables and I'm sure your blood will be back to normal really soon.

Hope that business picks up soon.

[debris4spike]

Thank you Dr Carolyn - you are a busy girl!!

I already am beginning to feel more human - well, I need to be 101% for the start of May, don't I?

[re-animating.livejournal.com]

It sounds like so far, so good on the lab work. Have you received the results of the other test yet?

I'm sorry to read that your hand is so sore. I have some nerve damage to one of my fingers from an accident I had when I was a teenager, so I can relate.

I hope business picks up for you soon.

[debris4spike]

No still waiting for the coeliac test - but I do feel better so that is good to know. Just want to know why - but maybe I have always been border-line and the hand injury threw everything over the top!

The hand is a bit better now I am living in a glove - it is something that occured to me that being someone who suffers with cold hands can't be good for the nerves.

Thanks - How are your treatments going?

btw - if you speak to classicanne01 say Hi from me

[re-animating.livejournal.com]

That's quite possible. It's completely feasible that stress and/or injury throws one's body off.

My medical issues are back up in the air. I just posted an update on everything. Ugh... Trying to stay positive. I sometimes ponder if the EMHH is experimenting on me in my sleep. That might explain a lot!

I will! She's without internet, due to technical issues, but expects have that sorted out very soon.
