Holy Shmoly!

On a historic day like today with the Dalai Lama visiting San Diego, I found it nice to reflect on where I am and at my almost 9th band-iversary, get a fill.  My monthly appointment with Dr. Ellner was moved up a week because I really wanted to get refilled.  I need it, more than that - I wanted it. 

I am down a pound from last month woo hoo but my blood work shows that my B12 is down to a level at around 400 and Dr. Ellner says that around 700 is where most people generally feel, "good."  This would explain why I have been feeling so down and very low energy these last two weeks.  I ordered a new B12 sub lingual B12 that should arrive this week.  I'm still waiting on my test results of my Vitamin D results and Calcium level results. 

So I received a "refill" of 1.5 mL and I'm excited about how full I'll feel when I'm able to start eating again on Friday.  

Regarding my hair, it is growing back and I did show Dr. Ellner.  The one thing about my hair that is weird that she wants me to ask Dr. Gilboa (my Determatologist) about is why is my hair (head, arm, leg, everywhere) growing back, white.  There are very few hairs growing back black or dark.  A majority of the hair is stark white.  There are still places that are void of hair but the hair that IS growing back is slow and void of color. 

His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama is in San Diego for two days speaking about Compassion, Global Impact of Climate Change, Peace and Universal Ethics - Compassion Without Borders is the name of the tour and I feel lucky because even though I wasn't lucky enough to attend in person, I am able (through the wonderful technology of today) to watch via the web through live streaming and I have a great seat.  What a treat and it makes me think of my own inner peace and my peace with others.
