And we have hemoglobin... well Dave does

Pictures: Dave waiting for blood; Dave finishing second unit of blood and feeling strong! (pictures are yellow because I didn't use a flash)
After a few hours sleep, we headed for the hospital and the infusion clinic this morning. They started the first unit of packed red blood cells a little after 10 am. Dave said he felt better after 20 minutes (?). But really he was feeling a boost after the first unit. Then lunch- a burger from the hospital coffee shop with a malt. I went to do some errands and Dave asked for a Roxy burger (great appetite). When I returned with burger number 2 the second unit had been started. We left for home about 3 pm. Dave's ears and cheeks are PINK! Hoping this is just what he needed. Tonight we'll just rest. Tomorrow night Czar's gig with Maxon Struwin.
