Just a note to say thanks to all of my friends and family who are so generously and overwhelmingly supportive. It really, really, really does help!

Blood Facts
White blood cells (leukocytes) are needed to fight infection. Normal range is 4,500 to 11,000.
Red blood cells (erythrocytes) pick up oxygen in the lungs and transport it to tissues throughout the body. They also pick up carbon dixoide from tissues and transport it back to the lungs where it is exhaled. Normal range is 4.0 - 5.2 million.
Platelets (thrombocytes), the smallest cell elements in the bloodstream are needed to control bleeding. Normal range is 150,000 to 350,000.
Hemoglobin gives red blood cells their color and carries oxygen from the lungs to cells. Normal range in women is 12 - 15 grams per deciliter. A significant anemia occurs when hemoglobin drops below 10g/dl.
My numbers are no where near any of those listed above, so you can easily see why I have to be so careful. I am very susceptible to infection and can easily bleed if I cut myself. I have to be masked when I leave the house, particularly around construction sites, I can't dig in the garden, color my hair, wear contact lenses, drink alcohol or drive. I have to avoid crowds and people with colds or who are not feeling well.
