Another month off...

I went to the Drs again today. We discussed my iron count and the reasons for my anaemia; what could cause it and how it can be prevented. Basically, we are going to test my blood again in 3 months time, after I've taken a course of tablets and then see what my iron levels are like. They should be back to normal, if they're not then I'll have to have further tests done to delve deeper into what's what.
My Dr said I need at least another month or so off work, to fully recover, everything makes sense regarding my tiredness; i was going through proper periods of feeling completely exhausted and no energy for myself let alone my kids, work, life etc..even swimming was starting to feel like hard work, which is not a usual feeling for me! So I'm consuming Ferrous Sulphate like no other at the mo and hopefully this will make me feel full of the enthusiasm and energy I normally have within me.

I've been invited to quite a few things this week; Italian themed meal at some good friends', South East Asian meal at a brill restaurant for my friend's 30th birthday..not sure if I'll do the Italian themed meal, but time will be the decider on that one..I want to see A, it feels like ages since I saw him but time will tell on that one too..

Today, I do feel very tired, the festival and shenagians prob hasn't helped me but I've been making sure I get early nights and sleeping as much as I possibly can..

My eldest son departs for Denmark in a few weeks time; holidaying, working in his uncle's restaurant, soaking up the lovely Danish summer, maybe meeting some new Danish friends and maybe a girlfriend..he's away for 3 months! The house will feel quiet but he needs to start taking some more lone responsibilty and the work he does out there will be good, indeed, his uncle is a good role model; works hard in the restaurant, professional saxophone player and genuinely sweet person. I know I'll miss him when he's gone but when he's here I wish he'd do more with himself! I guess this is the difficulty of teen years..

So, early night for me again and plenty of rest..
