Progress
My hemogloblin level held almost steady in the past week. My nurse was very excited / positive about it, but I'm still kind of wary. There have been anomalies in my blood drop before, and they only last a week or so.
"Well see," says the cynic.
I saw my bone marrow doctor again yesterday. Went over the choices between a short hospital stay and the pills again. He told me to think it over last night, and if I chose the pills, he'd write me a prescription today as I got my one unit of blood (which would put me pretty close to a 10, the highest blood level I'll have had in half a year).
I figured out that he was assuming I'd want to skip the hospital stay. At one time I would have, but hospitals are like home to me now, and I am no longer in a rush. It would be nice to stop getting transfusions quicker, though.
I also asked him if this is a problem that may reoccur throughout my life, sort of how a cancer patient may never really be free of cancer during their lives? He admitted it probably would be.
In more cheerful news, I only need to nap eight minutes after masturbation now.
PROGRESS.
