[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have more red blood cells than usual, and I've gotten more done in the last two days than the previous two months.
Over the last two weeks, I set a personal record of 11 medical appointments, procedures or tests in 13 days. My life, let me show it to you.

So the more red blood cells is a good thing?

Always Anti-fascist!
That blows, Ginger. Well, less than the alternative I'm sure, and at least you're feeling better now, but, still, suckage.

Our wings are not tired.
Mmmmmm, red blood cells. That's the good stuff there. Or, ya know, better than being short on them.

Oh, lord, yes, the weeks taht make you want to put "Medical Patient" in the line for occupation. My calendar for January of this year is a solid mass of tests and treatments.

Stop for a moment and thank your red blood cells.
Because the cancer has hijacked my bone marrow, I'm not making any blood cells to speak of, so I need a transfusion every two to three weeks. At some point, my hemoglobin got so low that the transfusions were never taking me back up to 10+, the land of getting things done. Below 9, I lose higher brain functions. At around 7, I can't walk to the mailbox and back. Then I developed the ulcer, so I was losing additional blood. (Taking many Prilosec seems to have healed the ulcer, at least.) Last week, the oncologist decided to give me an additional transfusion, so I was more caught up. I must remember this and insist on more blooood.
To add insult to injury, my last two transfusions were on Saturdays, which meant that college football was blasting.

Yay BLOOD!
Ugh Ginger, that sounds like a rough road. You are such a hero!
