Counts Fri Dec 11:

HGB 82 --> expected 79, only down 7 points in 8 days (the lowest drop yet)
WBC 1.5 --> up 0.3
Neut 0.8 --> almost double
Retic 2.4 --> up slightly 0.1

- I would like to think my HGB / RBC drop is improving, but I'm not sure if I just got
extra fresh donor blood last time. (transfusion Nov 30)

- this week I've had 3 days where my morning BP is higher than normal,
at eg: 85/49 pulse: 69 - 70. Normal seems around 75/45.

- I haven't been quite as dizzy this week.

- I rode my horse 4x this week. The weather has turned cold (-7 C) and we now have 20 cm of snow on the ground. Also ran around at agility with my dog.

- I was going to have a transfusion this weekend but my son has a music recital that I don't want to miss, so next transfusion is Dec 19 (ugh).

- How come my retic count can be so low and not affect my HGB? When my retic count was 48 my HGB would drop 10 points a week, now my retic is 5% of that but yet my HGB is not affected??? Am I all donor blood? Am I producing super duper retics now but sickly ones before?
