So last Friday I had my fill-up. 2 units of packed red cells and 2 hours of Desferal. I'm feeling pretty good from the blood but I'm still feeling really weak and get tired easily. Driving me nuts!
It's a good thing I'm taking some time off from work as I seem to need at least two naps during the day...this after getting up at 10:30am. Sheesh. I feel like an old lady. I could get used to the whole "housewife" thing. If only we could live on one salary...
So far I've lost 7lbs while on Pred. It could be more but I'm starting to have intense cravings and I have to give in every once in a while. Like with these Ritz crackers I'm munching on...oh, and the aMazing bar I had earlier... oh, and the....
Still I'm proud that I've hung on with some weight loss...
I didn't get a call from my nurse today with the CBC results but I'm sure they are fine since I just had the transfusion. Will have to wait another week to see how I hold up. Until then I'm going to get back on track with the Weight Watchers and try to get more exercise in.
til later then...
