Nearly everything came back ok except for any test relating to blood count and anemia. I started taking an iron supplement today but worry that eye surgery could be held up if I'm determined to be over whatever limit they have for being anemic. I will be a nervous wreck by Friday morning, when I see the eye surgeon.
Nothing like self-diagnosis, but I did a lot of online research today. The tests showed what is considered "mild" anemia. Anemia can be caused by continued use of aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and others. I have taken maximum doses of ibuprofen and naproxen since my fall in early December, probably enough to cause mild anemia. I stopped taking all that stuff a couple of days ago, and since I'm taking an iron supplement now, I'm going to try being positive and tap in to the power of my mind to get me back on track!
I think if I have to wait several weeks before surgery I am going to get my camper mounted on the truck and take off for someplace within 100-200 miles. Otherwise I won't be able to stand the wait.

I may have mentioned it before that I am looking for some old fashioned outdoor chairs, like the aluminum & webbing kind. They were lightweight, easily carried, and set up and closed up in a second. At Target this morning I found an aluminum chair with...
- Thought I Was Losing My Mind!
But I found it again. Jeannie came over yesterday and painted some more of the kitchen, and I had taken down some cabinet fronts that I painted. I was looking at the painted fronts a while ago trying to figure out where each one goes. I stood in front...
- Not Much To Write About
I am not the only one who has trouble finding something to blog about lately. I hope I will have plenty though, when I make my return trip across country. To answer several people who suggested that I get my own blood pressure monitor, I did just that....

The deer are still around, even though there aren't as many as I've seen in the past. It might be because I've usually been here in spring or fall when they have to go farther to find food. Friends: On the Lake Michigan shore - I believe...
