as Dr Saltissi has ordered an iron infusion to be performed at Holy Spirit Hospital this coming Friday 5th Dec. " No physiotherapy, as overexertion can be extremely dangerous with your anemia this bad 'with your heart' "....said the doctor !!!! ....What heart ?????....one doctor tells him he has a heart murmur....the next one say's...no no no....your heart is fine. HOWEVER (another however)....he has high blood pressure that is hard to treat. What next ?
I KNEW his red blood cell count was down as he hasn't been able to stay awake unless he is physically doing something. Iron infusions are only performed in a hospital setting due to the fact that some patients have a bad reaction to it. Apparently they give a small injection in your butt first to see how you react....then it is a five hour procedure. Improvement is immediate...yeaa!!! Has to double up on iron pills and two injections a week for a while. Obviously when you have an operation, there is blood loss, so that accounts for it. If the ortho and the renal docs had discussed the operation, I feel sure Dr Saltissi (renal) would have had him tranfused there and then.
We have three Christmas parties to go to.....passed on the one last Saturday and most likely the one
