Tired of Being Tired

I'm tired of being tired. Every time I think I'm getting things accomplished, I get exhausted. Like so exhausted I fall asleep doing what ever I'm doing. So I sleep. But then, things get ruined. I promised B that we'd make French Onion Soup together--so I got the fixings for it. And now I'm just too tired to contemplate preparing all those onions and he's just too young and inexperienced to do it himself. I got all these plants that need transplanting...and I'm too tired. I've new sheep to train...but guess what? I'm too tired.

This tiredness thing has been happening for a couple of years now; worse in heat and under stress. I've had the doctors looking into it for two years and the only thing they found is that I'm slightly anemic. Recently though, they've discovered these uterine fibroid things and as they've been growing, I've been bleeding more and now almost constantly. Which is contributing to my anemia and my tiredness. The doctor's solution? Well, (since you're on Medical,) we should really do a hysterectomy. Never once did the doctor mention any of the other numerous ways that they can selectively remove the tumors without robbing me of my fertility. The doctor was so nonchalant about the whole hysterectomy thing that I had half a mind of asking the young doctor if he wouldn't mind being castrated. Not that I would hurt the guy, of course, but a little more warmth, concern, and discussion of other options wouldn't kill him.

So, I'm waiting for more tests to be run before the doctor starts pushing me to schedule the operation. I'm trying a homeopathic remedy for the next few weeks to see if there's any difference. If my bleeding improves with the homeopathic treatment, the doctor is just going to be disappointed. Oh, well. If the bleeding does not improve in the next 2 weeks, I'm going to try to make him talk to me about other options. We shall see what happens.

Meanwhile, and on the plus side, the breads that I have been making from the Italian cookbook are most wonderful. I have the sourdough ready to go...I just need to muster the energy to make it.

The kids are wrapping up school tomorrow for the year and they are excited. Although the twins will be going to special day classes starting on Monday, for a few more weeks. They will be going on the same bus at the same time, however, and that will be good.

Anyway, I've had my little rant and I feel a bit better now. So, I'm going to wrap this up for the night.
Ciao.
