I found out yesterday that I’m anemic.
More tests to follow, but in the meantime—
—Liver and Onions for dinner.

I think the last time I had L & O was 1969… but who is counting the years? It was one of my grandmother’s favorite meals. I think I read that spinach has a lot of iron also. Good luck.

It does. We ate pretty much every part of a cow on the farm growing up. *shudder* Some parts more edible than others.

Agreed, it can’t hurt … might actually help

I thought I’d get a head start on whatever treatment is prescribed.

I happen to love liver! I hope you get your iron levels up to par… there are quite a few favorable food sources to indulge in to boost your iron.

The pulmonologist I saw last week could tell I was anemic by looking at my nail beds, which are scooped like a spoon instead of rounded like most people. They’ve been like that a long time, so it may be something other than needing supplements. He’s pretty convinced I don’t have asthma—that’s why he ordered more test to be sure. Gosh, it’s been years since I felt like I was talking to a real doctor.

I actually liked liver and onions – one of only 47 confirmed liver lovers on the planet. But I haven’t had it in years because the hubster and kids do not. Here’s to iron-rich blood for you soon!

My sister loves it, too, but she reminded me that it’s high in cholesterol. There’s no easy answer to anything!
