A pause for some O Pos

Although it was nice to sleep in his own bed for a few sweet hours, I had to shuttle Tom back to the cancer clinic as promised for the blood transfusion. Shortly after arriving there this morning he had a near-black out and his legs just turned to jelly underneath him - he took a bit of a tumble. He wasn't seriously injured but gave us a scare.

Fortunately, after two pints of O Positive and some lunch, his colour was much better and his strength returned. Good thing, or Dr. H would have admitted him back to the hospital for another night! He managed to twist his left leg backwards underneath him as he fell and it is still a bit sore when he walks.

From now on, Dr. H has set a higher minimum limit for Tom's hemoglobin counts - which should help prevent him from reaching such a low state again.

Not to worry, all is well with us - as I hope it is with each of you.
