    So the lab results are in and evidently I'm anemic.

      @scribus A friend of mine is super anemic. Usually he has so few blood cells that it'd be considered to be critical for any other person. He's so used to have so few that his body arranged with it. But he's under medical observation, especially because the cause of his anemia couldn't be determined yet (for over 25 years).

        @adiwan Damn, dude. Pretty sure I won't turn out to be that far along, but then again, if my body adapted, too.... /shrug

        @awl Dunno. Enough to merit a 5 year early colonoscopy, but that might just be because my Mom died of cancer at 56. I was deferred for a blood donation once, like 2 years ago, but some steak & eggs and a couple days with a multivitamin patched that up. I haven't seen the numbers yet, though. Just got referred for more tests.
