mila health update

mila had been feeling a little sleepy lately, so she had some bloodwork done. given her diminutive size, it was kind of just assumed by all that her bloodwork would be less than impressive. well apparently mila is not so sickly after all. in fact, she would like to announce that she sports an iron level well within the normal range, and her B12 is bang-on. she is also quite proud of her robust hemoglobin (135), and notes that her thyroid is humming along quite nicely.

p.s. her glucose is also perfect.
p.p.s. I think I have low platelets. it is too bad we didn't get couples bloodwork, because I am kind of curious to see how I compare.

Frivolous full-body MRIs are the sort of thing that drag down Ontario's wait times numbers!

Okay - you find out where you can register for his and hers MRIs. There is one downtown clinic that gives you a robe, golf shirt, slippers and a spa lunch while you wait for all your medical tests/treatments --- it sounds more like Sillwater than a family clinic to me, but whatever! if the bride wants an MRI who am i to argue? are you sure you don't just want a KitchenAid Mixer?

mila, i am super jealous of your iron levels. mine are so low that my doctor once told me she was surprised i was conscious . . . i am happy to hear you are doing well though!

Blood tests as a competitive sport?

yes, a favourite pastime of women in their early/mid twenties!
