Replacing blood

[Guest guest]

Dear Bobby,

Because there is a blood shortage, it's hospital policy that you replace the

blood after 2 transfusions. So far I haven't had a problem finding donors.

They open up a blood account in your name and when they go in to give blood,

they request that it go in your account. When they have enough, they call and

tell me I have enough for the rest of the year. Isn't it the pits what you have

to go through just to get in the infustion unit. The walking is what gets to

me. Now they want to put the oncologists in the hospital. I like it the way it

is now, it's adjacent to the hospital, but the parking garage is nearer and I

don't have to walk as far. Still trying to stay independent. They used to

have wheel chairs around the buildings, but they seem to have disappeared except

for the front of the hospital where the volunteers hang around. I could always

call for one, but then you have to sit and wait and I like to get up and go when

I am ready.

Blessings,

Lottie
