My numbers ....

I dare to hope ... 3 1/2 weeks ago I had my hysterectomy ... recovery is coming along

a bit slower than i had hoped, but i'm getting better, that is what counts.

Yesterday, I had an appointment with Dr. A, my hemotologist ... and

after another blood test ..

My numbers are UP ... Really Up ..

This part of my journey may be coming to a close.

My numbers were so good that they assumed I had another blood transfussion while I was in the hospital,

but no transfussion ... just me getting better...

Hemoglobin at it's highest yet 12.1 ....

and feritan level is now 120 .... when this journey began i was a 5 the highest I have seen since is 18 ..

and now 120 ( with in the normal range) 

In August when i scheduled that colonoscopy the last thing i would have predicted was

4 trips to the hospial, a blood transfussion, 2 surgeries, bone marrow biopsy, full body bone scan

and xrays, multiple I.V. iron transfussions and

more blood tests than I can count ...

but thanks to all of it .... I don't have uterine cancer, my anemia is hopefully gone with my 

sick uterus and I have more knowledge and hope for my future.

As this journey has unfolded I have learned that I am a strong person, a person who loves her life,

and can handle everything thrown at her.

I am proud of myself ...

and very happy that my numbers are up.
