Let's Go Platelets!

Just a quick update on the platelets. Yesterday I went over and gave more blood for the platelet count and match procedure. I was told that the lab takes 2 hours to get results up and then it takes 2 hours to get the platelets ready, so I went back home to wait for the resident to call. After waiting about 5 hours, I finally had him paged. He said my platelets were stable and had actually increased 4 points, therefore, I do not need a transfusion at this time. Jason said I did well in my visualizing, Lois said the platelets like me and didn't want to be replaced. I think the platelets are introverts and were frightened by the idea of being forced into a mixer. Whatever the explanation, for now there is no transfusion planned. I will go in on Tuesday for more blood work, a scan, and some other random appointments. Wednesday we see Dr. No Naps for a check up and scan results. Look for some kind of update after that!
