Still sick

I broke down and went to the doctor today, who sent me home with a bunch of antibiotics, some cough medicine, a new RX for epi-pens and instructions for something called nasal lavage, or as Cullen calls it, saltwaterboarding. Fun!

I also had to go for a cbc and something else I don't remember. She said I was very pale and showing strong symptoms of anemia, which would be frustrating since I just had that iron infusion recently. She said I have to get to the bottom of this anemia because you can't thrive with anemia, you can't really do anything. Add in what the Hopkins specialist said about anemia making PTC worse and it gets a little dreary.

A very dear friend of mine is in the hospital, awaiting some major surgery. That's about all I can say about that but it's extremely worrying. Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers...
