Janet (another amazing friend) picked me up at 8:00 for my blood and platelet appointment. When we arrived they told us it would take at least 6 hours to receive two pints of blood and one pint of platelets. UGH! Fortunately, Janet was able to go home for that time and get on with her life! She came back around noon to bring me lunch. She called me stubborn when I didn’t want to eat (is that a surprise to anyone?). She knew I needed the nourishment. It is a struggle, however, to eat through the mask I have to wear. I don’t enjoy the meal at all. So, I took a few bites and took it home to eat when I can enjoy the delicious sandwich she brought. Yes, it took until 2:30 p.m. for all blood to drip into my veins.
Hopefully, I'll feel better in the morning.

ReplyDeleteWhile things appear to be quite uncomfortable for you at the present, your fighting attitude will keep you going. At some point you will look back and say that it was all worth the effort. Best wishes.
