I would always get premedicated with Tylenol and Benadryl prior to transfusions. Sometimes the Benadryl made me tired. Each transfusion would last between 3-4 hours. Maybe see how you feel after the first time you go to get transfusions? Then based on how you feel see if you are up to working or not. I usually drove myself there. You again might want to see how the first one goes and have your wife there. Then based on how you feel decide for the next time if you need someone or not.
