First transfusion

As a follow-up to my Mayo visit, I had my Hb checked at my local clinic and got my vaccination for tetanus and pneumovox. Hb was 9.2 and white cell count was 5300. The next day I got an infection in my upper right arm, a fever of 102 degrees and WC of 33,500. I was admitted to the hospital and treated with Zosyn IV antibiotics. My Hb went from 8.6 to 7.2 in one day at which point I had my first 2 units of blood transfused. My Hb only increased to 7.6 so the next day I received another 2 units of blood. I was discharged after 3 days in the hospital with an Hb of 9.5. Three days later my Hb was 11.5 when checked at the U clinic, but then down to 9.7 two weeks later.
