Crikey Kiwigirl - this must be a NZ thing as I was told I had missed a blood transfusion by the skin of my teeth - although I was at Welly. I started naturally on the Saturday but lost so much blood over the weekend they nearly took me to theatre at 4am in the morning but decided to wait until 6am - and had blood standing by as my count had gone down from 152 to 94 - so I can start to know what you have gone through.

I had really great care and am still having my haem. levels checked weekly as well as taking iron and supplements. I have been recommended adding something called Spatone to a glass of fresh orange everyday, to help bring my haem. back up (although it takes weeks) and I think that has helped with my energy levels.

Sending you for a quick recovery
Alex
