Happy New Year

I come read things on LJ frequently, but rarely post anything these days. Lack of time, energy, and too many things going on that are no fun to talk about. So here is the mixed-bag catch-up:

I loved The Martian, too. We haven't seen the SW movie.

I am glad your sisters finally stepped up.

Stage 1 breast cancer is as good a diagnosis as one can hope for. My mom was stage one. She was diagnosed 29 years ago and will turn 90 in a week.

The low iron is worrisome.

Ditto for my mom -- she'll be 89 this summer and is ok breast cancer wise.

Thanks to both of you. My sister has a good attitude about it, and that helps.

I've had low iron off and on for years, but usually can resolve it with diet and supplements. This is more persistent which does worry me.

Glad to hear stuff has resolved somewhat with your mom. I'm sorry your health is suffering. I hope you get well quickly. At least there's X-files to look forward to! ;)

[zinnia03]

Thanks. I am really looking forward to The X Files!

I had low iron. It took a while, but with supplements, eventually things got better. Running yourself down, can really do a number on your system.

Here's hoping things get better.

I am hoping that it's just mostly being stressed out for so long and that the infusions, and taking better care of myself, help the situation.

I know how hard this can be, and had some inkling that things were up due to your FB posting. Here's hoping that you do take care of yourself -- I've found myself lagging on that front on multiple levels. Be well.

I know you went through similar. It's hard to think of yourself when there is someone who needs so much. Now that I know she's being cared for I'm already sleeping better, no longer worried about the call in the middle of the night or wondering what I'm going to find when I go over there.
