Today I have to have my iron infusion. (I am badly anemic and can't tolerate oral iron, so they've finally decided this is the way to go. In a couple of weeks I should have much more energy. Yay!). Unfortunately, they warned me it would take most of the day. So while I'm sitting there, I'm going to do some reading. I loaded up my Kindle with Monique Martin's Out of Time (I've read the sample, and it's excellent), and H.P. Mallory's Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble. Oh, and I added Star Trek: Federation just in case I get in a Star Trek mood, because Star Trek moods do happen *grins*.
Honestly, I don't know how I survived boring days like this before my Kindle. I guess I stuffed my purse full of books. But an e-reader is a much handier thing in these situations-- you can stuff your purse with a thousand books and it doesn't get any heavier!
Hope the time passes quickly during your infusion. When I was a child, I was severly anemic. I had to get iron shots in my butt. I was only four, and let me tell you, those are freaking painful! I couldn't walk well for days afterward. Of course, turns out it wasn't an iron deficiency at all, it's a genetic blood cell defect that destroyed the cells. So, the shots were for nothing. Grrr...
ReplyDeleteI got Karen McQ's name from you...I have that HP Mallory book, too! Are your kids all in school while you get your infusion?
