The transfusion

On the Wednesday I want in for the transfusion. I have never had one before so I had to be seen by a doctor, who would explain the procedure and the risks. 

He was very good and even gave me a leaflet to read. I was impressed with their thoroughness. 

The transfusion only took half an hour but I had to wait an extra fifteen minutes to ensure I didn't have a reaction. I didn't so that was me down and I went home. 

I must say that I felt better straight away. I hadn't realised how tired I had felt!
