Breathing Easier …

We were at the hospital for the blood draw nice and early today.  Took Dad along so he would understand the process.  Had the results in my inbox by 9:45 a.m.

Good news (at least for the numbers I watch):
  • Hemoglobin is 8.3 (was 7.6)
  • Red Blood count is 2.55 (was 2.41)
  • White Blood count is 9.3 (down from 14.3, we are actually in the normal range for a first time in a long time).


Hopefully, my heart won’t drop any more today when the phone rings.  Next treatment is on Thursday, since we had no problems with the first one they should be able to transfuse this one a lot quicker, might only take 2.5 to 3 hours (I’ll take that J).
