I was out at dinner with friends for the first time in MONTHS! As we finished, I got a call from my DR (I mean they never call at night for good news) 🥲
•
I had a blood test done that morning & she got the results that night. She told me I need to go to the emergency room to check my haemoglobin levels. They were dropping quickly (with no real reason - yay!)🩸
•
Kieran and I got to the hospital at 8pm and because of my previous history I was seen immediately! They did repeat bloods & my HB levels were even lower… So it was blood transfusion time! 🩸💉
•
After a lot of waiting for test results & for the units of blood to come we finally started the transfusion at 12:50am. I have NEVER been so tired. They do hourly observations when getting a transfusion so that doesn’t leave much time to sleep. 😴
•
I was admitted for observation & three nights later I am STILL here. 🏥 I am feeling good & very ready to go home - fingers crossed tomorrows the day! 🤞🏼
•
This was my first (& hopefully last) blood transfusion. It really solidified the importance of donating blood if you’re able! So if your eligible PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEEEE donate when you can! You might just be saving someone’s life. ❤️

As always,
Be kind to yourself. 🦋
Beauty has no size. 🤍
