O My Heart, it's a fish out of water...

Good news Friends!

Not only am I anemic...but according to my new family-doc, I have a heart murmur!
Wheee!

Doc says it's likely nothing to be concerned about, but now I get to go thru a bazillion tests to be sure.
Had Chest Xray and Cardiogram on Monday, Friday I get extensive bloodwork and an echocardiogram. An Echocardiogram is basically a heart ultrasound. I'm hoping they'll give me a copy of the picture like they do to preggos - then I will name my heart and put it on my fridge...or take it in my wallet and shove it in peoples faces all the time.

In the meantime I've decided to combat my anemic blood issues with several zillion supplements. I figured that I'd need something to help me organize such extensive pill-taking, and thus, I transformed into a 75yr old geriatric and purchased THIS:
The contents:

• Two 300mg iron supplements
• One 1000mg B12 supplement
• One Omega 3-6-9 supplement
• One 500mg Vitamin D supplement
• One anti-baby pill

I've also been trying to eat better (cheese pizza is not a good vegetarian diet...)*
SO I thought I'd share my current breakfast staple with you...
