Oct 4: Transfusions

 For the first time in my life, I've received transfusions. My counts were so low, I got 1 unit of blood yesterday and 1 unit of blood today, and 1 unit of platelets. 

I have mixed feelings about receiving blood transfusions, given some of what's happened around Covid. Hoping for the best. 

RBC, WBC, and platelets were all really low and my counts were not coming up very fast. 

Also having an allergic reaction to one of the drugs; they're not sure exactly, so they took me off the top of the list one. My head around my eyes swelled up with what looked like hives. My right eye is more squinty than my left. Hopefully it'll subside over the next 12 hours.
