Today, I ran to catch a bus and did not black out! Not even close!
A week after transfusion, I am slightly weak, a bit out of breath on occasion and a little pale, but oodles better than I was at the same time last week. What's more, with the new baseline of decay, side-effects of meds are not as nasty either. Like I said, no news is good news. Had more bloodwork done today (and, incidentally, my platelets must be up: my bruising now is minimal) and will know the results in a few days. I suppose that the results are not going to be exactly indicative of the true state of affairs, due to the continuing effects of the transfusion. Initially, it probably bumped my hemoglobin by about 4 points. So at most, I'll have to subtract those 4 points to arrive at the true levels, and actually it'll be less than that since it has been a week since the transfusion and my hemoglobin has probably dropped a bit since then. Anyway, that's all for now. It is weird, feeling at least closer to normal: I'd forgotten what it felt like!
