Went for my last dose of fluids/magnesium today, and ended up being at the hospital for almost 12 hours because I needed a blood transfusion. It's not too surprising since I'm at the low point from the vidaza, but it would be nice if my counts went up enough for me to not have to worry about transfusions anymore. The nurse told me it'd take about an hour for the blood to come, and then two hours passed, and then a couple more, and finally she told me to go get my dressing changed because no one knows where the blood is or when it's coming, so by the time I got back to the ATC at like 6 pm, it was finally there.
Still have my line since I had to get the transfusion and they want you transfusion-independent before they take it out, just so they don't have to worry about you having to get stuck with peripheral lines, which are sometimes hard to place. I'm supposed to ask about it getting removed at my appointment on Thursday, which will be in the normal clinic! So I'm one step closer to being done, but still full of steps to take.
