Another Week

I realise it has been a week or so since I updated my blog. Things have been pretty stable (a plateau phase) for the last week or so, so there has not been a lot to say. That said the last couple of days were not the best as I had a lot more discomfort and have found it difficult to eat much in the evenings. I am of course still very fatigued and my brain does not let me sleep too much during the day (my brain just won't turn off and I end up thinking about all sorts of things rather than relaxing).
I have been having weekly blood tests that track, amongst other things, my hemoglobin levels. After my blood transfusion in hospital several weeks ago my hemoglobin levels have been steadily going down, and I was expecting to need another blood transfusion next week ( which would have been a huge physical drain on me just getting to the hospital). However, the blood test results of yesterday have just come back and my hemoglobin levels are now (just) higher than when I left hospital. I take this as a huge bit of good news as it means my body has kicked in and started to produce it on it's own. I needed that bit of good news - it has given me a nice physiological lift.
On another note, I would like to sincerely thank all those that have contributed to, and continue to contribute to, the Pullan Family Trust. It has made a huge difference to my family and I and has helped ease the financial stress of the situation I am in. Thank you all.
