Red blood cells have an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color, called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin lets red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. And it lets red blood cells carry carbon dioxide from other parts of the body to the lungs to be breathed out. Heart problems. Anemia can lead to a rapid or irregular heartbeat, called arrhythmia. With anemia, the heart must pump more blood to make up for too little oxygen in the blood. This can lead to an enlarged heart or heart failure. A bladder or kidney stone. The minerals in urine can form crystals on the walls of the kidneys or bladder. Over time, the crystals can become small, hard stones. In addition to a subconjunctival hemorrhage, there are other kinds of bleeding that can happen in the eye:

Mercieri A. Exercise-induced hematuria. https://www.uptodate.com/contents/search. Accessed Nov. 4, 2022. Having recently read Joan Didion's clinical, almost objective account of her first year of widowhood, it was interesting to read Clover's experience during the year following her sister's death. It is a raw, visceral and fearless rendering of someone whose soul is scorched by grief and loss. Clover imagines herself on a quest through a forest in the company of Gawain and Lancelot as she learns to walk through life with death beside her. Clover searches for her sister everywhere, she neglects her home and frightens her children and turns away from the platitudes of people who cannot comprehend her grief. But read it I must! Because she feels about her sister how I feel about mine. I do not know how she has survived this.

Having lost (I dislike this term a lot), my own sister last year, hearing Clover's story on Happy Place Podcast with Fearne Cotton, I knew had to read this book. Stroud’s second book, My Wild and Sleepless Nights, is about maternal ambivalence and she spares none of the details. A fearlessly confessional writer, Stroud describes being ‘excited’ by returning to ‘all the difficult and painful things I’ve been through in my life’, and the energy of that excitement pulses through her prose. While there's many things about Clover's grief that is unique to her, there's so much that hit my heart. So many experiences, feelings, thoughts, and visions I could write as my own. Each group can be either RhD positive or RhD negative, which means in total there are 8 blood groups. Antibodies and antigensPregnant women are always given a blood group test. This is because if the mother is RhD negative but the child has inherited RhD-positive blood from the father, it could cause complications if left untreated.
