Well I am exhausted!
Just the In-laws left now, and we are all happy to just sit around and read and do nothing ; )
I think for a few days my fissure stalled in healing, but now it feels pretty much healed. Still tender and I am still cautious getting in and out of the car, etc. Don't want to pull anything.
Still very cautious in general.
I did drink a bit more over the last week for a few days and perhaps that and the stress stalled my healing a bit.
Still reading trash... on to the hunger games trilogy now.
My iron levels are now normal, but I still take supplements 2-3 times/ week. I have also been eating seaweed salad once a week. I really find this to be improving my mental health. I started munching seaweed salad because susun weed ( i know, ridiculous name) suggests it as a tonic for perimenopause. Anyways, it's been about a month of eating seaweed (once a week as too much can overdue your iodine) and I swear it has changed me. I've been close to healed before and not felt so buoyant and cheerful about the future! I feel younger and more relaxed. It could be the seaweed or the iron levels or the reduced stress. Or all of the above.
Just got my stupid period 3 days early, so I will be doubly cautious the next few days.
Thank you so much for the good wishes and you know I send them right back at you Angel and Jr!
