Yesterday I called work, because I got a rather disturbing letter that I was fired starting August 18th. Luckily my trainer told me they had apparently sent the standard letter and that I can start working again as soon as the doctor says I can and they have a new project for me.
And today I visited the doctor. Well a substitute doctor really but she was pleasantly surprised with the great progress I made. She gave me a tip for my pain medication for the nerve pain too: 1 ibuprofen and 2 paracetamoles 3 times a day, that should work a lot better than just 2 ibuprofens or paracetamoles.
She asked me to come back in 2-4 weeks just to see how it all develops, and to call for an appointment immediately if my condition deteriorates - which isn't really to be expected. So all good news there!
Monday I expect another call from work again and I hope I can start as soon as possible!
Today my kids got called by my sister's son. He has hemachromatosis, a blood disease that causes iron overload. He has to start weekly bloodlettings next week until his iron levels are normal again and he will have to have regular bloodlettings for the rest of his life. He inherited this disease mainly from my dad and probably his dad had a gen for it too, since neither I nor my sister has the disease, we are both only carriers.
Of course my kids were all worried and asked me if they had to be tested for it. Well, Nina is a bit anemic and they found out she has beta thalassemia minor - she got that from her dad :p So she can't even have hemachromatosis. And Evan wanted to know if he has to be tested for either but I told him to wait until he has a girlfriend and he gets her pregnant :p There is such a slim chance for him that he has one of the diseases, he may just be a carrier for both.
So in fact: all is well ;) Have a great day all and see you soon again!
Hugz, Anna
