When my Hgb was checked on Tuesday, it was 9.1 so I will go in tomorrow and receive two units of packed red blood cells. It has been six weeks since I received blood and this is the longest I have gone since my Stem Cell Transplant. My platelets were 22,000 and that is down from last time (27,000) but still within the range that Dr. Page will accept so I will not receive platelets. Proud to say it was June when I received my last platelets. It certainly gives me some freedom when I do not have to go to the hospital every week for transfusions. I am thankful for these little things. I remain tired much of the time but am thankful for each day and the blessings they present. I have a friend who always tells me that each day is a gift and that is why it is called the present.
