This blog covers the history and status of my living with myeloproliferative disease (MPD) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) also known as Hughe's Syndrome. My MPD was an unclassified version and possibly combined with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. I had a BMT in 2007 and later a bout with Hodgkins Lymphoma but am doing fine today in May 2016.

More blood
I had another blood transfusion this morning, starting at 7 am. It went pretty quick so that I made it to a luncheon at 11:30, part of a conference where I spent the afternoon. A blood test before the transfusion showed that my Hgb was 8.2, higher than I thought it might be. I also found out that my Hgb was actually 8.9 on Thursday, not the 8.4 that I had been told. With two units of blood, it should be over 10 by now. I am supposed to have another blood test on Thursday and will then decide what I do this weekend. I would like to travel to Michigan with my mother and the rest of my brothers and sisters over Memorial Day.
