Hi All!

On the rare occasions when my Hgb has hit the low 6s, my doc has ordered up three units. I've had them all in one sitting, without diuretics, to no ill effect (other than a tired behind!)

On the other hand, I don't qualify as "elderly" yet (I hope!), so maybe there's less concern about fluid in my case.

Take care!

Greg
