The biggest news is that my energy is starting to come back. The first night I didn't feel like going to bed at 7pm I was elated. Truthfully, that night I didn't feel like going to bed at 8pm either...or 9pm or 10 pm. In fact, I felt like someone gave me some crack because I was FULL of energy until 2AM. Huge mistake. The next few days I was in bed even earlier every night to make up for my wild spurt of energy. I am now being more careful to get eight hours of sleep. But overall, I am feeling more energetic and less like a mono-victim.
I am still waiting to meet with the hematologist. Getting an appointment was ridiculously complicated and did not restore my faith that having a low platelet count is not that uncommon. None of the schedulers at the hospital knew how to set this type of appointment up. I called multiple times and talked to many people. Apparently there is only one hematologist that works with women's health and the doctor has her own scheduler and nobody knows the phone number for this mysterious person. After a few weeks I finally have an appointent. It's a miracle.
I continue to crave grapefruit and after some research I learned that this craving is not that unusual. Grapefruits help you absorb iron and have a lot of folic acid and vitamin C in them. Perfect!
My tummy is getting bigger. My clothes are still fitting though. I feel like it's incredibly obvious I'm pregnant. But when other people look at me they cannot see it. I must still just look fat.
