Never Too Young
"A True life element chapter."

December is here oh how time truly flys, a Procedure is coming my way and waiting my call, going under they say well thats new, consent form has been signed. Oh wait, this is serious, blood test to get done again oh how annoying this is all is but has to be done so let's go.
Ever close days away as we speak.
but I'm here writing as I do.
taking my sweet boy out to magical places As I do, for nothing will stop our Christmas magic.
spoiler alert
An iron infusion was done, yes so true no iron.
"Say what!"
The nurse looks at me to say
"Miss Edwards this is not a joke how have you be up and walking"
she looked at me with her words clear as day, shock in her eyes, her aura showed deep concern....
"Why are you not bed bound"
I laugh as I do I felt it a funny considering Cryptic Edwards here as been bed with shitstorm seizures.com I say to her as my laugher comes and goes.
"It must be my mind set, I am deep rooted Spirtual as I say"
As I sit with laughter and a personality so buzzed with life Still even as my physical health is chronically ill.
"Yes it is because your mind is strong that is why you are not bed bound"
She looks at me with great concern, looks at my weight well it's not good that's why I'm here...
"I say look at me how have I lost more weight, this clearly is not okay!"
A straight look at me and leans forward and she tells me what everyone's faces have been showing me throughout the months.
"People with how bad your iron is would not be able to get out of bed, yes you are really skinny she saids but Using a scientific word I have clearly forgotten."
She tells me we will get you on the scales.
I think to myself
"I bloody hope so, this is a joke."
I look gaunt and pale like Casper Friendly Ghost, bags under my eyes I can not get rid off, no wonder I have no iron.
The nurse sits me down going through my iron results, I look and go
"oh dear me this is very very bad."
She shakes her head with her energy speakimg to me I feel is worried in deed.
I land on the scales she prays its not to be too low For the iron infusion and so do, please, please, please.
I am 7.5 stone
We both look in shock, no words can explain just shock.
In my head my inner voice is going
"What is this I have lost a stone and a half in less than a year this is bad"
A journey this has been, so much more to come, I can't help but think this is Surreal Experience for me.
As I sit while I am getting my iron infusion done ever so peacefully I am.
I can not help but feel the energy around me and let me tell you it feels like everyone is on edge, like everyone is drastically ill.
I sit there as we talk calmly and content even if things are looking bad.
My nurse is keeps a close check because of my epilepsy is say the least sometimes unpredictable.
But I'm just at peace with this situation knowing it will all be sorted.
Questions I ask, I find the whole experience fascinating and I feel I need know everything.
She answers my questions all the way.
Then I ask will I need another iron infusion or is this it, already knowing the answer to my question from the results I saw.
she goes
"I dont know"
I see in her aura, her soul to me is code Word for
"Most likely"
We finish up and all I can think is
34 and I have health problems like this.
Thursday is soon to get my womb check and the point of the story is ladies keep up to date if you feel something is off with your body, listen do not panic just listen and push for answers. It means you are in-tuned and push to get the situation sorted, do no let GPs tell you that your young for young is not always the case.
Author note- hey you all so I wanted to put a piece up about this yes, this is very real. I felt like some of my Writers brain I likes to put up real life elements and share awareness.
I hope you do not mind. Yes iron deficiency is a serious problem but Cryptis here well I like to get up go shall we say.
I did not know where to put this piece on but I felt this belong on Vocal where we share our voices, our truth and our journey in life, this just felt fulfilling for me.

I love that even with a big procedure coming up, nothing is going to stop your Christmas magic. That dedication to joy is truly inspiring. Your description of the nurse’s reaction—the 'shock in her eyes' and the question, 'Why are you not bed bound'—is perfectly captured. And I totally agree with your laugh; it’s the only way to react to those surreal moments! I had to smile at the 7.5 stone detail. I was right there with you at 7.2 stone, and I feel the urge to laugh now, too! It takes being out of that seriously bad position to see the humor in it.
Always keep the image of love in the shape of a heart in front of you, and everything will be fine. I liked your story. Our difficult moments show us the true path, and I wish that those who suffer physically find healing with light.:)
I love your mindset and spirit! Even in such a difficult situation, you manage to stay grounded, aware, and full of life. Wishing you healing.
I hope all goes well for you, Sending love and healing vibrations your way <3
