Blood Test Results

Venus_Cee

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you're all fit and well? I'm sitting here stunned and shocked (is that the same thing? 😝 ) For forty plus years, I've had a serious blood disorder, don't ask me to name it but it has quite a few x's and z's in it lol. And it all started when I was 16 after haemorrhaging and losing my baby at 7 and a half months. They had to pump about six pints of blood into me over a few days. I then went into a coma for a week and missed my baby's funeral. Docs gave me 50/50 chance of survival and by pure miracle, I survived it. But it left me with bad blood (they didn't screen it so good back then) and over the years, it's caused a lot of problems. I had to have three monthly blood tests and a range of different meds to see if they could figure out what was going on. After years and years, nothing was working. Then last year they found I have something else going on so I was put in contact with a specialist. Being completely housebound, I couldn't go to the hospital so the consultant said he was going to try me on meds and if they didn't work, they'd have to do another blood transfusion. Obviously this terrified me after what happened with the last one. But I went on the meds and over the last year, there wasn't any real improvement. So he told me three months ago, if the next ones weren't improved, he'd have to consider sending me to hospital for an operation and another blood transfusion. Anyway, the nurses came Tuesday and drained me of blood (lol) left me battered and bruised cos my veins often collapse, and I spent the last two days in high anxiety mode. Mostly my results come back either teeny little improvement or worse than they were. So this morning I psyched myself up ready to view results, knowing that if they're worse, am gonna get dragged to hospital kicking and screaming. I logged in and went to the result…..normal 😲 I couldn't believe my eyes! It's not been normal for forty years. Never. So I logged out and back in, thinking I'd logged into someone else's account. Still normal. I'm sitting there shaking, crying and staring at the screen. Logged out and waited a while to see if they had updated saying sorry, mistake, abnormal, call an ambulance immediately 😝 but nope, normal. I just can't believe these meds have worked after forty years of suffering. I was convinced they were going to come back bad again. But am so happy today! I've texted everyone I know, written it on social media and almost called the BBC News 🤣

I didn't sleep last night (insomnia) so am gonna go lie down now and take a nap. I'm still in denial lol. Hope you're all good today and excited about Santy coming 😋
