HI ALL, HAD LABS DONE YESTERDAY , HBG WAS 7.4, NEUTS .6

SO DID NOT HAVE TO GO TO ANN ARBOR FOR A TREATMENT.,  BUT I DID GO TO THE

CLEVELAND CLINIC FOR TWO PINTS OF BLOOD.  WAS THERE FROM 8 AM TO 6 PM.  I GOT

CROSS MATCHED, THEN THEY BROUGHT IN BREAKFAST.  PANCAKES, BACON, CEREAL, CUP OF

FRUIT, COFFEE,  THEY BROUGHT IN THE FIRST PINT AT 11:30, THEN BROUGHT IN LUNCH. 

SALAD, CHICKEN , MAC AND CHEESE, COFFEE, MILK AND A COOKIE AND A DISH OF

FRUIT,.  THEY BROUGHT IN THE SECOND PINT AT 2:15,  AND BROUGHT IN DINNER AT 5,

SOUP, STIR FRY WITH GRILLED CHICKEN,  A HUGH PIECE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE FROSTED

WITH CHOCOLATE ICING AND MORE COFFEE.  I LEFT A HAPPY PLATE WITH ALL 3 MEALS,

AND I GUESS I CAN BE SAFE IN SAYING I WILL SHOW A GAIN THIS WEEK???????

I DON'T CARE, I ALREADY FEEL BETTER,.  MY LEGS WERE ACHING WHEN I WALKED MORE

THAN 20 FT., I HAVE HAD NO APPETITE FOR OVER A WEEK. I HAVE HAD NO ENERGY AT

ALL.

BUT NOW, WITH ALL MY NEW BLOOD, I AM REJUVENATED, I AM BRAND NEW, I CAN NOW

TACKLE WINDMILLS!  I AM A NEW PERSON, AND NOW I CAN HANDLE 21 GUESTS FOR
