I received almost ONE QUART of Red blood cells, and from start to finish it took a total of 7 hrs.. waiting for my appointment, getting a Benadryl drip (maybe getting a little drunk off of it!) and then TWO hours per bag of red blood cells and then OUT OF THERE!!! The staff there is amazing and definitely was as good of an experience it could be.
I am feeling tons better already and know I will keep feeling great for a while. Yay for more oxygen and not being dizzy all the time!!
Thank you to all the support and my time passed quickly with social media! All the videos, meme's websites were amazing and a great distraction :) ...I'm going to share my favorites soon !!
The first is always the most nerve racking.....so glad you feel so much better. You look beautiful and so does your MOM.
