Crying lots as op canceled

[witchingmoon]

Well I got bloods back iron went down by 0.1 so op on 15th has been canceled. I have to have bloods done again in 2 weeks to see if I can have op next opening but I can't see 2 weeks helping as nothing more I can do I have 3 iron tablets a day iron water and loads of spinage and othe green veg. Also other high iron foods. I feel do low and can't stop cry I know it's silly

 

[Caren]

oh honey im so sorry
have they said about the injections?

 

[lamornamiss]

Oh sweetie you must be so dissappointed.
But it's best to be fit for the op especially as your iron absorption will not be as good after surgery

 

[grabonzo]

Ten pints of Guiness a night might help. If not it'll help you sleep anyway

 

[Dinda]

I am really sorry to hear that, I know it won't help much but everything happens for a reason x it is a positive sign that they are not taking any chances with your health. They are doing my bloods tomorrow and I'm low in vitamin D and calcium - we might be in the same boat.

Go and get some green leafy veg down you and know that everyone here is rooting for you! *big hug*

Sorry to hear your news , make sure you drink Orange juice at the same time as eating iron rich foods , it increase iron absorption xx

 

[Ric]

Are you a vegetarian?

Sorry to hear this, hope it's just a little set back!

 

[TwinkleTwinkle]

Aww I am so sorry, sugar ... I am surprised they have not offered the injections at this stage but guess there must be a reason behind it. Did you ask why? Sending you lots of wrap around hugs, babe. (((hugs))) One plus though, you will be fine for your audition, knock em dead ... good luck, my love xxx :wave_cry:

 

[basketcase]

Oh no how disappointing for you. You must be devastated x

 

[flowerofshona]

Awwww that is so dissapointing but better safe than sorry xxxxx think as Pandora says you need vitamin c to help the iron absorb, hope the next bloods are spot on !

 

[lyndajoan]

aww love my thoughts and love are with you. everything will turn out fine youll see. x x x

 

[Mrs Quiggle]

Oh no that is such a shame. Don't know what to suggest that hasn't already been suggested. Hope you're iron levels go up and it all turns out ok.

Lots of hugs

[Miss Tickle]

not silly to be crying at all WM- it 's a horrid disappointment for you. Hope you manage to get it up a bit by the next blood test xx

 

[FuturePerfect]

My heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry.

 

[xxpigsgalorexx]

So sorry to hear your news.... I suppose they need you to be in tip top condition for surgery, fingers crossed you get sorted soon and then they can give you another date x x x

 

[lynne08]

...Bless ya, you must be so disappointed. I'm sure it will improve and it wont be long until the new date xxx

 

[witchingmoon]

They said they only do the injection if your not making iron which I am, I am just losing it quicker than I make it. I have 3 iron tablets a day and have oj with the first one and I put iron water in it.
I am penciled in for the 29th if my bloods are fine in 2weeks so fingers crossed they up so light at end of day
