      Sherron,

      I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful support you were to Jim during those 4-plus years. I know it has not been easy. Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.

      Just received Joe's CBC results. Slightly low RBC, Hemaglobin, and Hematocrit. He had low blood counts a year ago as well. Ferritin is normal so it's not an iron deficiency anemia. I didn't think too much of it a year ago because the doc didn't either. But with the jaw bone pain issue now and low blood counts still, it's a little concerning. Probably time to investigate what's causing the low blood counts.

      Thanks! He seems to be feeling a little better in the last day, so maybe it's the antibiotics helping some unseen infection?

      Don't think it's heart related. I do know about that connection. Hopefully, with the family doc involved that will be looked into as well.

      Yes, exactly! That would be the horse. I may not remember the quote word for word, but you get the idea!
