Anybody else have to get a blood transfusion due to low iron/ Anemia?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

Real quick: I'm in Tijuana. Did my pre op testing today and a few hours later I got a call from one of the doctors saying my bloodwork showed that my hemoglobin was 8.9 and that the dr. said I will need a blood transfusion.

Did anyone else have this experience?

Yeah I'm freaking out just a tad! Second surprise of the day. I've NEVER came close to having something like a blood transfusion and this is adding to my stress and nervousness. Darn!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
