the toast forum is back up. i was just doing my rounds tonight and saw it was working. there is a note from bruce about it being down for a while, so you might want to take a look now
i think you made a wise decision there mark, to opt for transfusions when your hb falls to 10. i know the protocol on my son's ward was to transfuse at 9, but because he wasn't symptomatic, they tended to leave him until they fell to about 7. keeping in mind, unlike you, he wasn't going out to work, just resting in a hospital bed.
take care,
