More Answers, Questions, and Waiting

I have to start by apologizing for missing my last two blog days. On Thursday I met with a new doctor to discuss the results from my latest blood test as well as get a second opinion on what could be wrong with me. The results came back normal except for high levels of iron. I did some "research" (google) and found out that the body only absorbs 10% of dietary iron but a hereditary disease called Haemochromatosis can increase absorption by a factor of three. Next chance I have to see my doctor I will bring it up. I was also given a recommendation to an ENT specialist, but before I get the appointment I need to first take a hearing test. It seems that the closer I get to figuring out what's wrong with me, I have to wait and wait before taking the next step.

Friday ended on a good note. Although I felt tired and hungry after two hours of class I was convinced to stay for sanshou since the class was practically empty. I know to have a successful year in the I Ho Chuan I must log 1000 rounds of sparring, but with how my health is affecting my balance and stamina I have been missing out instead of training smartly.

Over the weekend the ideas for my first "real" YouTube video have started to work out. If everything goes to plan I'll be uploading my first videos next week.
