Had a make-up doctor's appointment today. Yup, because I forgot about the original appointment. Ugh. I really need to get a personal assistant. lol. :)
Anyways, I had some bloodwork done again, and THIS TIME, I actually asked what it was for. They did a CBC, SMA, PT/PTT. I looked up what they meant too...
Complete Blood Count (CBC) to look for anemia and infection
Chemistry Panel (SMA) which checks blood serum minerals, liver and kidney function.
Blood tests for clotting are done (PT & PTT)
Well, we've known for a while now that I am anemic...and Doc kept saying we would pump me full of iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid. So, I've been regularly consuming those things - much more than normal. Guess what? Didn't work. NOW...I'm super anemic. So...'Blood transfusions R Us' got themselves a new customer here today.
YUP...you heard right...I had to have a blood transfusion. TONS OF FUN. Not really, but it wasn't bad.
Well, that is about all the update I can handle right now...
LOVE YOU ALL!
