Blood transfusion

Yesterday started off miserably, I had so little energy I could not do any pushups in the room and I did not start to recover until after the first of 2 units of blood began to drip into me. Here I am receiving the first unit. My color improved almost immediately and by the time the second unit was finished (4 hours later) I was feeling quite good. We had arrived at 9:00 AM and didn't get away until about 2:15 PM. Rather a tiring day although all I did was sit in a lounge chair.

I get today and tomorrow off and then go back Sunday morning when they plan to start me on a different antibiotic, which has to be administered in the hospital. I assume the new one will be for the same purpose as the vancomycin (kill bugs collected along with the stem cells) and it has to be administered in the hospital. We go at 9:00 Sunday and again Monday and have to go at some undetermined time each morning until the different antibiotic use is completed.
