My hemoglobin test turned around a favorable result. I need not have blood transfusion, at least not yet. And I wish I won't have to. But I still have yet to see if it is inevitable considering the circumstances.
We just had to change my prescription. Looked for a better ferrous sulfate than the one I just finished yesterday morning.
Aside from that, I am on pain management. For pains that are here and there from time to time. I got two meds for pain. Since Algesia could only be taken thrice a day, I need to have another one. That's because sometimes the pain starts to get back even before my next dose.
The weather these past few days has been a blessing. Since I had to spend most of my days lying down, it wasn't so hot for me to have the electric fan going for the whole day. I just needed to turn it on during those moments when it felt like hotter than usual. It's probably what those menopausal ladies call hot flashes. In my case, it gets a little hotter when the pain sets in at its peak. But it's good that it only lasts for a few minutes - five tops.
The Kindle has been a lot of help, too, nowadays. Since I couldn't spend more time on the computer sitting down, I spend a lot of time reading while lying down. This is when the pain is bearable for me to go on reading. Right now, I am reading 'A Game of Thrones' by Georg R.R. Martin and having finished only 7% of the book, I am contemplating into switching to another book. Yeah, I heard this one's a good book (in fact it was the 2011 reader's choice at goodreads.com), but it's just that I'm not a fan of knights and kingdoms. I'm giving myself until I reached 10%, and if it still doesn't make sense, I know it's time to choose another.
