Medical Update

Went for the second blood draw today, in prep for my up coming surgery. Didn't happen. Nurse said that my red blood count had not recouped from the first draw 2 weeks ago. Have been having some bad days recently and last nite and this afternoon were really bad. Ended up in ER-seems that I was very dehydrated-they pushed an IV and I got to feeling better. How I was ever dehydrated, I can't even imagine, as yesterday, in prep for the blood draw, I drowned my self with water and tea(at their insistance). Anyway, I am home tonite and we will see how things go for the next few days...Toni

Can't figure out why you got dehydrated either...did you drink it and pee it right out?? That's not meant to be funny either, although it sounds kinda goofy! lol Sorry last night & today have been bad ones. I hold on to some good thoughts for you, Toni! :) May 6, 2008 9:03 PM
