All is welll--today
Got my platelets and a nice bump (up to 66K) too...turns out they had held from 21K last Thurs nite to 14K yesterday morning....I thought for sure I would have been in the single digits. My other counts rose a bit as well:
wbc up to 2.1, HGB 9.4 pre/8.4 post platelets. So I'm here to fight another day! Hopefully, my counts tomorrow am will show further progress....
They do pre and post transfusion cbcs--seems like hemoglobin tanks alot post transfusion--2nd time this happened....could there be a dilution factor from the saline/platelets?
Fred, I agree--I am going to pay more attention to the blood type and my # bumps, because all along I have thought that some units are much more user friendly...and yes, I am now on the Tylenol/Benadryl regime!
Thanks for your support eveyone....
