BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS

Yesterday I received another 2 units of blood. It took about 6 hours including a saline flush to infuse. This is not the first, or even 2nd blood transfusion I have had and I must say that although I will never meet the donors of the blood, I would like to say a heartfelt thankyou. Thankyou is a simple word and can never send out the message of 'giving thanks' as I would like to send it, but this is a personal thankyou from Soapy. Because you took the time to donate, today I feel better, I feel a little stronger. I also have a rosy flush in my cheeks instead of the palor which marks me as a leukaemia patient. This is good for my family too to see me looking better. This in turn makes them feel happier. So Mr, Miss, Mrs, Ms Donor, I was thinking of you while your blood was infused in me and wishing you well. Bless you all.
