This week all seemed to be going pretty well except for some strong fatigue on Monday and Tuesday. I was in anyway for blood work so they checked kidney function and hemoglobin to see if I was still anemic for some reason. The kidney function looked great. Better than it had since before the hospitilization before Christmas. The hemoglobin, however, for some unknown reason dropped to 7.1. I definitely noticed a drain in energy. They decided to give me 1 unit on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. I started to feel a little better after the first one, and a lot better after the second one. Hopefully, we can get my body to make the adequate number of red blood cells and get away from the transfusions, but at least I have a good option if I need it. It is a great reminder to me, even though I can't donate now, please help to keep these blood banks full. It is a great way to help your fellow man, even if you don't know who it might be. It is used for so many emergent and non-emergent situations, but it truly saves lives. If you see a blood drive, and it's been awhile, and you have a couple extra minutes, picture someone you know or love that might depend on this type of gift and give a little bit of yourself.
All my love and thanks!!
