I have not started on the new Lara avatars and signatures for a good reason.
At around midnight on Saturday I was sitting in the living room watching television when I became extremely weak, shaky and my began to race. I went to my mother and told her that I felt extremely weak and that I was afraid to go to sleep because I had a feeling that I would not wake back up.(I honestly felt that Saturday was going to be my last day on Earth. It was an erie feeling like nothing I have ever experienced in my life, I felt life draining from me.) She proceeded to rush me to the emergency room. From there I was given chest X-rays, an EKG, and had my blood drawn.
A couple of hours later, my results from my chest X-rays and my EKG came back just fine, my blood tests results came back differently. My CBC(Complete Blood Count) Hemoglobin was extremely low. It was 8.3 It is supposed to be 12.0-15.5 for a woman. This means that I have low iron, which makes me an Anemic. The Doctor at the emergency room also told me that had I not come in when I did, I would have had to have a blood transfusion because my Hemoglobin was extremely low.
Obviously, this news comes as a shock to me because I am quite the health nut, but anyone can be and become Anemic. There are several foods and vitamins that are chocful of iron that I intend on taking to help with my Anemia. I will have a follow-up appointment with my Doctor this week to pinpoint exactly the cause of my Anemia.
Today, I am feeling just fine. I don't feel fatigued as it is a symptom of Anemia. I just wanted to let each of you know what has transpired and that I am doing well inspite of everything that has happened and that the new Lara signatures and avatars are still on their way.
