Re: transfusion

October 2, 2008

Hi Ann,

So good to meet you.

I had my transfusions and everything went good.

I also had the barium ct scan, and I got the barium down ok, but I was

worried, as I have been sick to my tummy a lot.

I had a terrible pain in the center of my tummy, so I don't know what was

causing it. I haven't gotten the results from the ct scan as of yet.

Good luck on your heart cath; I pray everything will be oK.

I pray for you to get better soon.

Blessings,

Jeanie<3

jeanie: i am so sorry about your hbt. i have had three transfusions. they

give you medicines before to help with acceptance and usually you don't feel a

thing. i did feel a little flush once.

if you do have pancreatitis you will know it. i just had it in August and i

couldn't stand the pain. the enzymes were not elevated but my pancreas was

enlarged on the CT Scan. the barium ct isn't bad, it's just getting the stuff

down. i like to use a straw and bypass my taste buds all together and has to

be cold. in NY they had flavored which they don't have here in NE. do you

still have your gallbladder. i had mine removed in 1989 and it is about the

same

pain level as that. god bless you as you go through this and if they tell you

not to eat anything don't it will only aggevate your pancreas.

i will be going in for my heart cath tomorrow. i'm a little scared but what

the heck. my heart seems to have gotten a little broken since all my

hospitalization. it's enlarge for sure they just don't know why. they still

don't

know why my pancreas was inflamed. i guess they never will. good luck and my

prayers are with you.
