More blood work today then an appointment with Dr. Koletsky. They took the blood from a finger prick which today yielded enough blood. The Phlebotomist brought the report to me saying that it had to be redone as the numbers were just too low and probably a mistake. Very disheartening! I knew they were true and not a mistake – WBC .2 and platelets 8. My red blood count was very low as well at 7.6. This figure explains my couch potato-ness. I literally have no oxygen flowing to my cells, making me tire at the slightest exertion. Dr. Koletsky confirmed my suspicions and scheduled me for two pints of packed red blood cells and one pint of platelets tomorrow morning. It makes me scared to come home.
I guess golf is off for Saturday!! Dr. Estrov told me to go home and LIVE. Golf is part of living for me. I thought I would be well enough to try and play on Saturday. Wishful thinking. But, there is always next week.
