Had my weekly bloodletting today. I've been feeling rather ick this week - tired, worn out, heartbeat pounding in my head - so I knew that it was going to be time for a refill. Plus I'm going to Disneyland with the ENTIRE family (me, DH, mom, brother, sis-in-law and niece Lilli-pad)on Sunday and I will definitely need to be charged up for that.
After last time - I'm hesitant. I'm really not in the mood for another allergic reaction and I told the nurse this morning that I only wanted two units and not three.
OVERRULED.
I'm at a 7.5 hemoglobin and I'm getting three units of the red stuff. I'm unhappy about this and now I'm nervous that my tongue will swell again causing my day to extend to an ultra sucky 13 hours from the usually sucky 10 hours.
Or I could count my blessings that any treatment is available to me and just stop whining. At least I have a day of watching movies!!!
