Day 14, A Year Ago Today (AYAT) it was day 14. I was still improving, some confusion but mostly there. I received a blood transfusion but before I would let them give me the blood, I made them test it twice to make sure they had the right type. I was sure they had it wrong but after they tested it another time and came up with the same, I gave in. This was the first transfusion of 4 that I had while I was in the hospital.

I remember trying to connect with the nurses so they would treat me kindly. I had had a few that I was not sure if they were nice. I know that at times I received a lot more attention when my family was there which thank God was a good deal of time. I also know that I was doing better so if they were breathing a sigh of relief I can understand their breaks. I do remember overhearing one of the nurses answering the phone and telling someone that it was not a worry that an alarm was going off. I was still on a lot of drugs so I am not sure if that really happened. I dreamed a lot of things.

Today I worked on things around the house. We are getting ready for my big day tomorrow. Picture is a hint of how we are going to celebrate my big day!
