Good late afternoon.
I spend the good part of the morning at the hospital.
supposed to be there at nine from my blood transfusion.
It was a long wait.Did not get my unit of blood till ten thirty or later.
This takes two hours or more.
This is a very long ordeal to go through.But it is over.
Lunch I had there peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
greek yogurt,hot chocolate which was terrible.
Today is when they have the student nursed working.
Not let see if I get any boost from this.
Mike said got some color.The photo as you can see looking exhausted.
What's is going on here.Did I miss anything.

You need to get one of those Nintendo Gameboys . Could play some Tetris or something while you wait. 
At least it would keep your mind busy and not make it such a drag for you.

If the boss says you have more colour then you do. I hope it re-energises you and you are feeling better.

I do understand about the transfusions, I once was the caregiver to a Leukemia patient. Some days it was a 12 hour day at the clinic, especially when he needed blood and platelets.
I am sure the blood will make you feel so much better.

You look tired out, as if you're not feeling very good. We just prayed for you, Alfredo:) God love you, very much!

@kobesbuddy I was feeling okay.Just the waiting.It takes over two hours or more for the blood.
Then they come every hour or so or earlier taking vitals

That's not at all a fun way to spend a Saturday.
I have a friend who is going through dialysis a lot right now. He lost a kidney due to cancer a year or so ago, and now his remaining kidney is shutting down. A transplant is his only option other than dialysis right now, and they're even looking at a "home dialysis unit" for him (which I didn't even know existed!)

I hardly recognized you in this picture. Like you write, you are tired, you look exhausted. We need that transfusion to start working its magic on you really soon. I hope that the colour that Mike sees in you will spread and it will be the start of you feeling the strength from the transfusion.
Sorry to hear about the crappy lunch that they served to you.
