I'm in hospital as I write. I'm having 3 units of blood. My BP had dropped to 80/40.

Hb was 71. Haematocrit 22%.

I kept getting faint every time I stood up and I think that was contributing to the shortness of breath. Unfortunately my BP tends to drop very quickly due to my neuro problem. I'm just going to have to live with it.

I'm luxuriating in being waited on at the moment, it's so nice to have someone bring me a cup of tea etc and not have to battle feeling faint fending for myself. Now that I'm MRSA positive I get a room to myself too......bliss. I'm being discharged tomorrow morning, so I won't be here long enough to get bored.

Regards
Chirley
