Two more units. That brings the count right up. Essentially someone else's bone marrow is doing the work mine is supposed to do. You'd think mine would be ashamed of itself.
As this has gone along it takes longer now because they have to give me medication before the transfusion to keep my body from trying to reject it and then different medication after to prevent iron from building up. Too much iron is way bad for you.
If you ever read the Steve Goodman biography, Facing the Music, there's a piece in there on how he got picked up by the Chicago police because they thought all the little needle bruises on his arms were from heroin use when in fact he was fighting leukemia. My arms are starting to look like that. Be ready to post my bail.....
