Health update

Ok people, just to let people know in case you were worried about me (either through my previous blog posts or by talking with my parents...) I have finally figured out what my dizziness problems have been. I went to the doctor's last week and also had a blood test to check for sugar issues. As it turns out it is not a sugar problem (Thank God, I can still eat my Oreos, hehe) but an iron problem. It's called anemmia, at least I think that's how you spell it. To fix the problem I simply need to alter my diet to include more things like dark green vegetables and red meat. My host mom is taking it on with gusto as for breakfast I got a very special glass of spinach and orange juice. It was a lovely shade of green. However, I did have more energy today so I won't whine too much. :)

Basically, stop worrying. I'm not going to die and I'm not leaving Ecuador. Sorry to disappoint.

Chao!

Yeah, I had anemia when I was little. But that was becuase i was such a picky eater. Glad you figured it out. =-D
