I've been feeling great for the last week. We went to Watertown WI for our nephew Ron's wedding on Saturday. Even though it was during a snow storm they had a great turnout and we all had a good time.
We had lunch with my siblings and cousins on Tuesday and went for my weekly blood test immediately afterward. According to the test results I shouldn't have been feeling so good. My red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets were below normal. I should have been feeling tired and short of breath. Hematocrit is the amount of space within a blood sample occupied by red blood cells. The normal range is 42 to 52%. Mine was 25.6% and as a result I needed a transfusion.
Yesterday I received 2 units of blood and today I don't feel any different.
