Prayers that this is never your PA...they said stop waisting our time and get real 🫠

I’m honestly getting scared and looking for advice/experiences from people who have dealt with severe iron deficiency anemia.

Over the last 3 years I’ve had TWO iron infusions already, and my labs are still awful. My ferritin is 8-9, iron saturation is 2%, iron is 12, and my hemoglobin is now 10.9 with low MCV/MCH. I’m also apparently vitamin D deficient.

What worries me most is the symptoms. I’m not just tired — I’m literally collapsing/passing out. I recently fell hard enough that I ended up with stitches, a head hematoma, and a concussion. I feel weak, dizzy, shaky, short of breath, and exhausted constantly.

My question is: at what point do doctors consider a blood transfusion instead of just more iron infusions? Has anyone had numbers/symptoms like this and ended up needing one even if hemoglobin wasn’t critically low?

Also…how am I vitamin D deficient when I work outside almost every day? I’m in the sun constantly. Could anemia or absorption issues somehow be connected to that too?

I’m following up with doctors, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar because this is starting to affect my ability to function normally.

To see the look in his eyes when he first saw sunlight!!! He is staying with me for the weekend and then going to his furever home!!! Happy to announce my first kitten rescue litter have all officially found their furever homes!

I am happy to report that William finally ventured outside his only world he has known (the rescue bathroom) for the first time today!!! He is staying with me (his hooman momma and safety net) this weekend before he takes off for his beautiful new furever family!!!! Shew....were did the time go...thank you all for your support with my first rescue litter 😻😻😻😻😻 And yes, that is his emotional support shark bed and YES he did just do his first official mini loaf 😹😹😹😹

This is my last rescue kitten and his coat screams "Bangle" somewhere to me! Check out the spots on his tummy and his golden swirls! He also could pass for a parrot 😹😹

Couldn't be more proud of this litter...but it's bitter sweet. Time to get referral momma back to herself 💖

Guess who got kicked out (for beating his momma up as the last kitten left) until he goes to his furever home next week 😹😹😹😹😹 He's using me to jump up on the sink 😹😹😹😻😻😻

Welp, it's official...

Evervone wish Wisteria. Wiska. and Wallace good luck on their first dav as "vet techs" with their amazing vet tech mommas at Stonewall Veterinary Clinic that adopted them from my rescue. We fought so hard to get their litter of 5 to this point and it's hard to give up the reins! My baby, Whip, went to another clinics vet tech, and my William goes to his beautiful forever home next week Let's hear it for the rescues, fosters, and everyone in between that make this happen!! You all ROCK #notjustakitten #weallneedahappystoryending

Today was one of those days that reminds me why rescue is both the most beautiful and the most heartbreaking thing I’ll ever do.

Four of my five tiny babies went to their forever homes today. Just like that… the house feels quieter, a little emptier, and my heart feels so full and so heavy all at once.

These baby books are something I made for each of them... a little piece of their story, a reminder that their lives mattered from the very beginning. Every late night, every bottle, every tiny milestone… every ounce of love poured into them is inside those pages.

I’m so proud of the lives they’re going to have. Safe. Loved. Chosen. Exactly what they deserved from the start. But it doesn’t make letting go any easier.

There’s still one little soul left with me tonight, and I’m holding onto every moment a little tighter.

This is the part of rescue people don’t always see...the goodbye. The quiet after. The missing pieces.

But I would choose this kind of heartbreak every single time if it means they get their happy ending. 🤍

Go be everything you were meant to be, my sweet babies. I’ll love you forever.

I run a rescue and we have a litter of 5 precious kittens (16 cats total)! Everyone say hello to 5 week old, William, Whip, Wallace, Wisteria, and Wiska!!

Everyone, meet Sampson (the head emotional support kitty for new welcomes), Deliaha, Midnight, and Sampson. Midnight was our worst case...refused to come out of a bathroom window for a year! Once we got him to trust us, we were able to get his teeth fixed and integrate him with the others! Sampson is now his security blanket and best friend 🐈‍⬛️🖤

Hello, I own and run a rescue where we currently have 16 cats. 5 weeks ago a feral showed up begging for help as she was about to give birth. Long story short, we have been keeping momma and babies completely isolated in a spacious bathroom, but the reality is that once the babies are gone(we have homes for all 5!), we are going to have to introduce her to the main cat house where all at this point are FIV positive. I am dedicated to working with her to trust humans, but her instincts are still there. It's a heart breaking decision. Any advice. Momma and babies for tax!

5 week old rescue kitten, Wiska, ready for her close up....if he doesn't fall asleep on the job first 😹😻

My girl (recently passed at 18.5) always wanted to know if she should wear her Tuxedo over her Tuxedo 😂 All her 8 siblings looked exactly the same! Weimeraner mom and boxer dad!

Oreo came to me in the middle of the woods on deaths door. Her sister, Blueberry raised her until she passed a year later. So grateful I was chosen ✨️

This is your world's biggest fan of Churu treat sticks, Annie, and I'm just lucky to chosen to be care for her! A little background on Annie. She is 18 years old and was adopted 2 years ago after her hooman sadly passed. She spends most of her time sleeping in her bed in her closet, but you wouldn't believe the moves this girl will make to come out and assume the position for our Churu Treat Stick time, daily!!! 😻 It changes her entire mood and energy level so much that she is wondering if you might have a spot for her at your #inabachuru company?!?! Here she is interviewing in different departments...where do you see a fit for her? As the saying goes, she will LITERALLY work for treats! 😹😹😹

I run a rescue and we have a litter of 5 precious kittens (16 cats total). As a gift for their adopters, I'm going to be making "baby books" for each of them! What do you guys think about my book for baby Whip?!?! Aka first to explore, defend, and conquer the litter box!!!!
