Two transfusions

Yesterday Consisted of transfusions.  The first one was blood and they used 0 positive (universal donor). The afternoon transfusion were platelets. I have always had a reaction to transfusions so I was pre-medicated with Benadryl. These two transfusions bumped up my numbers so I wasn't as tired yesterday afternoon. The carnage with my stomach has not improved, but I think that I've devoted enough time to that subject...oh except I have lidocane for my sore butt.

Since I got here my bed had this metal pole running the length of the bed.  I never complained about it, until yesterday.  I think my fat ass compressed the memory foam to the brink of demise.  It was waving a white flag of surrender.  I think I heard it weep once or twice.  Anyway, I told my night nurse and she got me a new bed!!!  It felt great to sleep and not feel like my bed was taking advantage of me. Maybe my hiney wasn't sore from diarrhea, hmmm. 

Lee has been working hard to clean and fix up the bedroom.  So far, he has taken down the cornices, ordered and put up curtains, painted the room, bought a new air-conditioner and installed it, put the summer comforter on the bed,  bought me a new pillow and ordered new sheets. PHEW! He's been a very busy boy.  I can't wait to see it!  My environment at home needs to be very clean before they will consider letting me go home.

Many people have asked me when I'm going to be home and my answer is, I have no idea.  I've been here two weeks already and it could be another two to three weeks.  It all depends on when my numbers (blood counts) go up high enough that I won't catch every illness flying around.  I'm shooting for Mother's Day weekend, but that might be a little ambitious. Please feel free to ask me questions.

I have a question for you guys...Where are my cards?  Thanks to my step-son and his wife for sending me funny notes and thanks to my great-nephews and niece for drawing cards for me.  That was my only question. 

Peace out Peeps
