Today is a bit different.  First, kudos to the veteran's being honored today.  It's a holiday and my normal medical group is off today.  They hooked me up with a platelet process in the main hospital, so I'm in a squishy moveable bed with a nice view of the Kahului Harbor.  (see the picture?)

Kahului Harbor from Hospital Bed

The team here has things in place for an efficient transfusion.  Happy about that.  I was a bit worried I'd get stuck in "admitted to hospital" zone. 

Still dealing with "impingement syndrome" on shoulder, as diagnosed after x-ray last week by the primary doc.  I found out I have some arthritis on my shoulder joint to my clavicle as well.  Nice, eh? 

Platelet count prior to transfusion today is 8K.  First time that high on a Monday.  But, last week I had a 9K on Wednesday.  Let's see how this Wednesday is.  If there are two in a row, that might be some good news.
