Got Blood?

Right now I am in the Hospital getting a blood transfusion…I got here around 8 p.m. and will be here until around 1 a.m. The option to come in in the evening is much more appealing to me than getting up at 6 a.m…I am SO not a morning person!I went in today for my CT scan and got blood work done because I have an appointment with my oncologist tomorrow afternoon…When the CT scan was over and my blood work results in, it was quickly decided that I needed to get this transfusion…My red blood cell count is the lowest it has ever been…which makes A LOT of sense because the past week and a half has been one of around three times I’ve felt this EXHAUSTED…the nurses notices how easy it was to for me to get out of breath without walking very far…and tonight I had to be taken to the observation unit (where I get the blood) in a wheel chair because the walk from the car to the registration desk was TOO much…I sure hope this helps for longer than two weeks…I feel like the last transfusion, I did not get much time where I felt better before getting run down again…From the way the radiology tech talked I will start my radiation next week…I got all marked and stickered up today in preparation…
