transfussion

skip - Depending on where you go and if you are premedicated, this will determine if you can drive. I always went to Abington for my transfussions. If you get 2 bags, plan on spending the day. One time I did not get premedicated and I ended up with hives all over my body. So, you should get the tylenol/benadryl pre-meds. I think with the benadryl, they want you to have someone drive you home, even though it is really worn off by then. But, hospital liability......... those are likely the rules.

Glad you didn't need it in any case.
