It took about three and a half years for my iron levels to go in the

toilet. Have been taking iron supps since my wls religiously. Finally

had to cave and go for the iron infusions. Been at it twice a week for a

few weeks now. He has me scheduled for 23 infusions. My levels have gone

from a low of 8.7 to a current 10.3. Starting to really feel the

difference in my energy level. Doc said you usually start feeling better

when you hit 12. Was surprised when I told him I was feeling

considerably better.

I too feel humble while I'm there with the people getting their

chemotherapy treatments. Even bumped into a lady I used to work with

years ago who is currently undergoing chemo. The doc usually puts me in

a private room, but she asked if we could sit together and we talked

about the " old days " at work and just laughed our asses off and made the

people around us laugh at out antics. I stayed with her for three hours.

She didn't realize that my iron infusion takes about a minute and I'm

out of there. It wasn't until the end of her treatment that she realized

I wasn't being unhooked from anything. She so appreicated the company

and the much needed laughs. I apprecicated the fact that what I have

won't kill me in a few months. I worry more about staircases, cars, lamp

posts, etc. That's what will get me. Sometimes you need to be reminded

that everything is relative.
