It will take a bit of time to regain all of my strength. I had some issues that were causing me a LOT of pain and blood loss. Turns out when they hospitalized me and ran all my blood work I was in worse shape than anyone realized.

I received Iron Infusions (5 of them) and Lipids, nutrients, potassium and magnesium etc ...

An endoscopy revealed a need for a biopsy and I'm waiting for the results of that. Apparently I have Barrett's Esophogus which can be a precursor to Esophageal Cancer. I'm not stressing about it though. It is what it is.

Good to see you again K.

I hope your better half is also doing well.
