Transfusion

I saw the Dr. late this morning. My platelets were VERY low and I was very anemic. I had all the symptoms he mentioned. We went next door to the hospital where I got a bag of platelets and two pints of blood. I was in the hospital from 2 pm until 8:30 tonight. I'm already feeling a little bit better. The good news was my white cell count was really good, so either I'm not fighting anything off, or the antibiotics have already kicked in. I will finish out the week with them. My blood was a little thin, so my blood-thinner dosage is a bit less for a few days.

Next Monday I will have my scan and have bloodwork/see the Dr. to follow up today's events.

Two of my sisters came by to visit me in the hospital which was nice. Michael was there of course. He wanted to know where they do the transfissions. (If you know Michael, you'll understand the question.)

I really hope that now I'll be able to enjoy the 9 days until my next treatment. The treatments are definitely taking a toll. Hopefully we can avoid this kind of thing so we can enjoy our week in Cozumel in about a month.
