Started the day with an early appointment for platelets. The read today... 4K. That's after a 7K yesterday. Bummer. Now the platelets are flowing in and I'm getting an allergic reaction. That seems to happen for maybe one out of eight transfusions. So if my words tail off, it's due to a Benadry injection... yay.

Update: This reaction was the worst I've had. Double doses of Benadryl and finally followed by a steroid shot. That cleared it up until I went home. Then, I started a new rash and got worried. Hit it with another Benadryl and it cleared up. That sucked. I spent hours on the couch watching Pawn Stars.
