Before John's treatment, he was able to get his red cells on his own. Like Neil said, he felt better after getting them. After his treatment, he needed me to drive him for a whole host of reasons but mostly because they had to pre-med him before red cells because he started getting hives with his red cell transfusion. He couldn't drive because of the Atarax...made him way too sleepy. In addition, he was pretty wiped out in general.
