I sound chipper...but I'm not. I decided last night that I would try my new iron pill first thing in the morning. So I did and 15 minutes later I was in the bathroom throwing up. Uck! I am feeling better now. My son and grand daughter spent the night and he was so kind to make me toast and my grand daughter went downstairs to buy me a coke...it seems to settle my stomach. I sent an email to my doctor and told her I was not going to put myself through it anymore and we need to find a better solution. Hope she comes up with something.
Yesterday our local YMCA put on a community party. Free food and free activities...which seemed mostly for kids but I took myself and my grand daughter. As we were standing in the rain (again) in line for food I saw my grandson Kobe! I was excited. Got a picture of him to share.
As you can see...he has grown a lot since my last photo....and notice how muddy and wet it was. Every afternoon we have been having storms and today it looks like the same again. Maybe if I close my eyes at 3 I can pretend I am in Florida.
Have a great weekend all...
I was always told that if an iron tablet made you sick, you didnt need it. Also maybe if you ate something first and then took the pill it might help. Good luck! Good picture of your grandson. Hope the rain stays away for a bit.
ReplyDeleteIt said in the directions to take the pill on an empty stomach. I think I am going to look up other ways to get iron from food.
DeleteWe are having rain, too, Ruth. Keeps us inside...with a houseful of people and animals! Fun!
ReplyDeleteSorry the iron pills are making your nauseous. I have one of my pills that I have to take with food, or it just kills my stomach. It happened twice, and now I remember to eat when I take it (or take it when I eat). Hope your doctor comes up with a solution that works for you.
Your grandson is quite handsome, and yes - he has grown!!
I bet it is interesting in your house today!!
DeleteKobe is a cutie. And I hope they find something else for you! sandie
ReplyDeleteI remember when I used to have to take iron tablets, i was told not to take them on an empty stomach. Anyway, I hope your doctor can find a solution.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute grandson you have!
So glad you got to see your grandson. I hope your Dr. finds something that works for you.
ReplyDeleteWow your grandson is really growing. Hope you will feel better soon
ReplyDeleteRuth I wish you the best in your endeavors with the Iron. My wife could not tolerate Potassium, but finally would eat pudding, drink potassium liquid down, eat ice cream. That way she could tolerate it. She can now tolerate the pills but can only take them after she has eaten.
ReplyDeleteThat is so great that you got to see your grandson! He is so adorable. My mom has a problem with taking iron too. I hope you can get it figured out.
