I dont know how many transfusions I needed during my whole cancer experience, but I do remember feeling BETTER afterwards....worldshine06https://www.blogger.com/profile/07465198517545137787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29524164.post-82527579069799766462011-07-25T17:48:11.529-05:002011-07-25T17:48:11.529-05:00I've been following your cancer journey and ha...I've been following your cancer journey and have been encouraged and inspired by your posts. This post was great because I love how you need to look at both sides of things and not just dwell on the negative or scary side. I'm so glad your MRSA infection is gone. We drink lemondade Crystal Light too, just to give the ole Coca Cola a rest. Will continue to pray for you.listgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398445125685674246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29524164.post-72264187866209536792011-07-24T22:17:37.140-05:002011-07-24T22:17:37.140-05:00I know it's been said before, but your strengt...I know it's been said before, but your strength and incredible ability to find the positive, despite the unbelievable obstacles you face, is just amazing Melissa. I'm sure there are those times that you don't feel so positive, but the fact that you can even find SO many things, write them down, and share them with us shows what an awesome spirit you have. I don't think I could have the tenacity and fight in me that you do if I were in the same circumstances.<br />Your children are incredibly blessed to have a hero in their mother.<br />Much love, mama.Elizabeth Frickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369568911391997731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29524164.post-62340200704502480442011-07-23T09:09:04.981-05:002011-07-23T09:09:04.981-05:00Attitude is a little thing that makes a big differ...Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. ~Winston Churchill<br />Your strength and belief will get you through these dark times Melissa.

From someone who has had 3 separate blood transfusions I'm here to say..yeah it's weird but oh so helpful. The only thing I vividly remember about getting my transfusions was that the blood was so stinkin' cold going in my i.v. Ah the memories...LOL. We continue to lift you up.

And yes, you're right, you do feel better after a transfusion so try to take that as a "good" if you might need one (my first nursing job was oncology). I'm so glad the MRSA is clearing up! That's huge, and your immune system plus the antibiotics are doing their jobs!
