That made me wonder and worry a little. The nurse came back in a few seconds bringing me to the examining room where the duty Dr. asked me how I got to the office that morning. When I told him I had driven he seemed shocked. He told me that he had called ahead to the hospital down the street and I was to be admitted right away and I was not to drive.
Now I was more that a little worried the Dr said that I had a bleed and had lost more than half my Blood supply. He explained that from a simple blood test, the number of certain cells in a fixed volume of blood when measured against a previous known value would show how blood I had lost.
I had been digesting my own blood.
I Called Sharon leaving a message on the phone and Drove over to the Hospital walked in and was met at the door by a gurney. I said that I felt good and was told to lay down and I was given a shot taken upstairs where a transfusion was started. Sometime later Sharon came in with a friend that I had called when I couldn't get hold of her on the phone. The friend, ( Joann ) picked Sharon up at our house.
I had been put on Tranquilizers to keep me from leaving the Hospital. They let me go on Monday after two units of packed red cells.
