My Day

Last night I couldn't fall asleep at midnight. But I got back to bed by 2, so not bad. It was a beautiful day to be out and about, up on the mountain where the Victoria hospital is located.

My doctor wasn't sure whether to phlebotomize me or not because my ferritin level wasn't alarmingly high. She decided not to when she checked my blood pressure, which was quite low. That reminded me to tell her that I'm on a new daily drug for my headaches, and it's a beta blocker which lowers your blood pressure. She said there's a good chance I'll actually pass out this time, and she didn't want to put me through that for not-too-high levels. So... we'll see in another six months.

Maybe she just knew I didn't have my kobo yet.

Oh, I thought of another reason for my kobo--reading while standing on the bus/metro. Hard to keep a book open with one hand. Yippy! My kobo! It wiiill be miiiine by the end of this week!

Anyway. Now I'm sittin' around, deciding whether to watch a documentary on the My Lai massacre, or Dynasty.

Look at this cute picture I found of how a phlebotomy decreases your iron level.

Okay now it's 2 AM, time to attempt the bed again.
