Last Platelet Transfusion was on Wednesday.
Platelet counts:
Thursday 59! Friday 32 Monday 10 :(
Thus I'll be getting a platelet transfusion tomorrow unless (dear god) they don't drop from 10. That would be great! I'm actually feeling ok at 10. I decided to forego the blood transfusion that was scheduled for today (today is day 16 since the last blood transfusion). The red blood numbers aren't NORMAL by any account, BUT they seem to be holding ok. The goal here is to become transfusion free and in the meantime to space them out as far as possible as long as I feel ok. I'm not interested in crashing and burning. I am interested in encouragning the body to make it's own darn stuff and to stop relying on other people's blood.
RBC (red blood cell count): Friday 3.09 today 2.98 NORMAL 4.06-5.21
hemoglobin fri 9.2 today 9.2 :) NORMAL 12.5-16.6
hemocrit fri 26 today 25.2 small loss :) NORMAL 37-49
WBC Friday 1.4 today 1.2 :( NORMAL 4-10.6
I've only been on the juicing program for a few days now, but the reds are looking better. A very kind person made me two kinds of bone broth soup over the weekend and I suspect this has also helped my blood numbers.
No more sad movies. I managed again! to pick one out last night on a kid who died too young tear jerker. Only movies that make me laugh for now on! If you don't have any to contribute, please make recommendations and I'll see if I can get them on Netflix.
