An honest reflection on my life

SO, Now that I'm over the bleeding thing..
I am into the recuperative mode.
I haven't returned to work.
I'm still not capable of doing anything for 8hrs straight.
My stamina is gone.
My muscle tone has diminished.
It happened so fast.
I'd like to go back to work. I just don't have the strength.
I'm trying to balance recuperation and building my body back up.
It's quite a slow process.
The saving grace of all this is the side show now unfolding .
The Presidential Race!!
What a show.
At this time it's degraded into muckraking and name calling.
Both sides either lie or avoid the truth by omitting some facts.
A wonderful system of webs they weave.
In an to attempt to sway simple minded voters.
I find it amusing, frustrating and depressing, all at once.
The financial market is in shambles.
Our society is hanging on to the last vestiges of a consumer driven economy.
The Mercedes Benz advertisement for the C63... $85,000.
Now, don't you think that we've had enough excess in our lives?
Just a thought.
so, back to me.
I spend my time reflecting on my life.
I had fun, had lots of pain and disappointments. As all of you have, had and will have.
I'll never be rich, never visit another continent.
Most of these, I never wanted to do!
Sick and thinking!
The problem is that my Iron levels were way low.
Since I lost so much blood, my blood count was low.
My B-12 levels... oh, you get the point!!
I went to my new Doctor, who said I have to eat liver (NO!! no!!)
That was out. next!
She said eat red meat, take iron tablets and eat salads.
I'm doing that.
Went to the Doc again today after having a blood test two days ago.
Iron level 60% of normal.. Good progress? yes. from what it was.
B-12 levels were ok too, if not a little high.
I do, however, take injections for that, so I'm cheating!
Blood count? forgot what she said. oh well... .
so, my life consists of:
going to doctor visits.
going to the food/drug store.
going for short spirited bursts of lively driving in a sports car... while in transit to the above places.
I now have the time to read ALL the news on the internet.
Follow the Downward spiral of the Stock Exchange.
Watch More Television than any normal person should.
Oh, and feel, see, and do NOTHING! absolutely nothing important.
I sit, sleep, eat, and feel the pain of every bit of food as it passes through my bad guts.
not an enjoyable experience.
I forgot...
went to the Gastrointestinal Doc too.
He said I have to think of trying a different medication.
One that blocks your immune system.
A wonderful thought!
This kind of drug helps you get Opportunistic infections.
A heartwarming thing.
T.B. as in Tuberculosis. Pneumonia. Lymphoma.
all of the good diseases.
I'm guessing that if he mentioned this drug it means that I'm on the short list of options.
Another positive in my road to recovery.
