Yesterday I went to the hospital & they drew blood to type & crossmatch for me to receive 2 units of blood the morning of New Years Eve. Kinda got excited!
Last night turned out to be my most restless, non sleepy night. I never got any real good sleep. About 3am I took a drink of lemonade (my mouth is always dry) & then I went to the bathroom. Returned to my bed & immediately threw it up. How disappointing!
This morning I was at the hospital about 8am. I figured it would take about an hour to get two units of blood. WRONG!!! 5 1/2 hours!!!
But the good news is they placed me in a private room & I got almost 4 hours of sleep! That was GREAT! They only have 1 private room. Don't know how I ended up with it. There were others, 3 to an area with their own bed. And most people just end up sitting in a comfy chair. Really don't know how I got that private room, but it was just what I needed.
Tonight is New Years Eve. Sorry, but no partying from me! I always feel the best way to start a new year is ASLEEP!!!
