I also have to get my iron checked before I have any surgery which sucks. Turns out it’s genetic which means pretty much everyone in my family has it including my mom, sister, grandmother, and brother.

There are some things that I need to avoid, some things that I have to do, but there is a way to have a normal life with anemia.
