I'm interrupting "Thankful Thursday" for another new blog feature I've been saving up until the perfect moment! It's called "A Blah Blah Bloody Update." If you're new to the blog - last July I got a weird blood disease called Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura. Basically, my platelets are very low. My immune system is permanently confused and eats the platelets like they're bad guys. I never feel sick but I do get bruises, and it's apparently really dangerous to walk around without platelets . Platelets make blood stick together and they are very special little dudes. No platelets = bad news.
I haven't posted too much about the ol' blood lately. #1 - it's boring. #2 - it's weird. But I am mentioning it today because I'm heading to the hospital soon. I had my usual every-other-week blood test this morning, and the hospital called back right away with the update. My platelet count is back in the "Danger Zone" so I need to get an infusion this afternoon. It takes about 6 hours. I have plenty of work to do, so hopefully I can be productive. Or I might just sit and watch Food Network in my drug-induced sleepiness.
Do you like my new banner? I know, "A Blah Blah Bloody Update" is perhaps a little gruesome. But a girl with a blood disease has to have a little fun, right?!?! If I can't laugh about this weirdness, I'll cry. So I'll choose laughter.
Also, I just watch THIS video on repeat when I feel like sulking. It's beautiful. Hahahahaha.
