Anemia, And More

Yesterday, I went to the doctor for another blood test. Three months ago, the iron level was 10.3. (Back in early 2003, it was 2.0--I'll always be happy as long as it never gets that low again!) The iron level is supposed to be around 12-14. That's slightly anemic, so I had to start taking two iron pills and a multivitamin a day--rather than just a multivitamin.

The doctor just called with my results, and as of now it's at 12.6. So I am not anemic right now. Still taking the iron pills, though.

And apparently, my HCM (no idea what that stands for) level last time was 36.8, and is supposed to be between 34-44.

As of now, it's 39.7. Much better.

In completely unrelated news, I still need a beta reader for the ship_manifesto essay.
