July 21 BLOOD TRANSFUSION

Today was quite a tough day - first of all this morning we were fumbling around - a very different routine than when he was in hospital! He walked the whole way back to hospital first thing for clinic (he found it quite a long ways but it was supposed to replace the treadmill in physio). The Dr. was very pleased - again said his lungs were clear as a bell and that it is quite normal to need a blood transfusion at this point of the journey.

From there, we went straight to physio and Jennifer put him right onto the treadmill! (His own physio-therapist went on holidays this week). He then did all his other exercises with hardly a break. By the time he was done, he was absolutely exhausted so I ran over to the hotel, picked up the car and drove him back. Then for a sleep!! - he didn't have a very good sleep last night.

Tonight he had to be back for a blood transfusion at 5:00 - we just got back to the suite at 8:00 - I snagged a wheelchair to bring him back and will also use it in the morning to go back.
