One after the other!

The rest of this week has been spent at the doctor’s office or in the Outpatient IV Therapy Department. To date in Round 3 (through day 17) I have received 7 transfusions – 5 platelets and 2 red blood cells. (During Round 2 I didn’t have one transfusion!) Weekends and Holidays always pose a problem receiving transfusions. You have to go the ER – sign in – go to lab – wait – then be admitted if a transfusion is called for. That is what happened today. Got to the ER at 8:30 a.m. went through the process of getting transfused and left at 4:00 p.m. What a way to spend a Sunday. Fortunately I had a friend who stayed with me throughout the day.
