    Transfusion of the stable but anemic hospitalized patient has been the subject of numerous clinical trials, and transfusion is emerging as a deleterious intervention.

    But alty is stable, so she doesn't NEED a transfusion right now.

    She is? I don't think so.

    If she wasn't stable, I don't think her doctor would let her be at home. He'd have her in the hospital under observation.

    I think that we may need to cool it for a while. We all care what happens to Alty, but I don't know what else we can say that won't stress her more. :)

    Great news!

    I just got a call from the hospital. I'm booked for my colonoscopy for this Friday! :)

    Bad news, I can't be on the iron pills for this procedure, it can interfere with the results, so as of today I have to stop taking the iron. This may not be good.

    Best news. The nurse that called mentioned needing a ride home afterwards because I'll be sedated! YES! Pretty please! Knock me out! :)

    At last things are getting a little faster. I'll be patiently waiting for the results of the colonoscopy.

    You may perhaps not take iron pills anymore, but continue your diet with iron. I don't think that it would interfere with the colonoscopy and will do you good. Perhaps J or your doctor can confirm this?

    Wow, all those greenies in a post! I rarely had that much, lol. Thanks everyone!

    And I don't know about the doctor thing... My mom don't quite want me to have the hectic life of a doctor to always be ready 24/7... I don't quite know myself what to become... there are so many options, and even more I don't know of...

    Unky, the world is yours if you want it. You are a very smart person, a good person, you're the whole package.

    Whatever it is you decide to do, you'll excel.

    I know I don't only speak for myself when I say that we're all so very proud of you. We've sort of watched you grow up on this site and I think we all see you as our kid. I know I do. :)

    I'm always proud to say the smartest kid on the planet asked me to be his friend.

    :o You're living up to your reputation of making people blush... :o

    It's strange how today started like hell for me compared to the other days... then everything seems to be getting way better than any day... :rolleyes:

    Well now that I've made Unky blush my work here is done. ;)

    I've got to go lay down for a bit, I didn't sleep very well last night and I'm exhausted.

    I'll be back a bit later everyone.

    Unky, you're in charge. ;)

    We are proud of you buddy I think that is obvious. You're kind of our 'child' and we just puff out our chests when we hear of your accomplishments.

    Unky is one of the few teenagers I don't mind the thought of being 'in charge'. :)

    Rest well, Alty.

    Well, I might not be 'in charge' for a long time... homework calls... in 15 min.

    Yep, rest well. After all you have that colonosopy prep to look forward too.

    I'm sure we'll get a humourous account.

    Sweat dreams.
