Opus the Poet

I just got back from an unscheduled visit with my Dr over my last blood work. To be succinct, I'm anemic, to the point the doc describes it as being "a couple of pints low". We can't figure out where the blood is going, the doc suspects GI bleeding but I don't have any symptoms of that. In fact I don't have any of the "normal" symptoms of anemia, my BP is normal, my rest pulse is 45, and my endurance is above average, the last bike ride I did was a quick 20 miles in the evening after doing 10 in the morning, in 100+ F temperatures. The only problem I had was some chafing from my cotton shorts. So I'm not feeling tired or anything like that. For those who know what the numbers mean, when I last donated blood at the end of June my Hematocrit was 30, last week it was 18. Opus
