Transfused!

Transfusion – January 11th

I’m a little worried about the transfusion.  It is a little unsettling to know that someone else’s blood is going to be in your body.  I don’t even like to share writing utensils with people, much less blood!  However, I feel so awful that if its blood that will help me feel better I can put my neurosis aside.  I get two bags of blood and almost immediately feel better.  Wow.  This is some good stuff!  I was told that I would feel like a million bucks after the transfusion and even more so after a good night’s sleep.  I feel like they just gave me some super drug.  Who knew?  Blood does a body good.  At the end of the transfusion I literally do a little dance out of the hospital.  I have forgotten what it’s like to feel good and have energy!  I haven’t felt this great in months!  I feel incredible.

I’m very grateful to the person who donated blood, but can’t but wonder whose blood is now in my body.  Will there be weird side effects?  Should I be concerned if I find myself doing something out of the ordinary like wanting to watch old episodes of “Walker, Texas Ranger” or eating meatloaf?  I’m not sure.

Looking on the Bright Side…I might only look like $50, but I really do feel like a million bucks and I’m happy with that!  Now if only I could transform that feeling into real money.
