TRANSFUSIONS AND PLATELETS

 Hi Geniuses, 

Having a transfusion is not an uncomfortable experience. It's like a vampire getting more blood into their bloodstream if they're weak. The one's who survive on animal blood like The Cullen's in The Twilight Saga movies. First a team of doctors, and nurses scan the barcode on your hospital I.D bracelet. Then they put wires in your line, and attach it to a transfusion machine. Then bags of blood are attached to the machine and it's turned on at millions of miles per hour. The blood provides you with energy. It helps the red and white blood cells in your body. The white blood cells can't fight off infection due to chemotherapy. so these transfusions are used to get your body to have a healthy glow. The pale pasty looking version of you is transformed into a rosy cheeked hyperactive version of yourself. I've had 2 or 3 bags of blood in my body from these machines. I loved looking at the blood. I didn't find it repulsive and gross looking. 

Platelets are these little things that get put into your body to boost the immune system. The white and red blood cells are damaged, so you can't abstain from getting bacteria and infections in your body. It goes through the PICC line. They scan your I.D bracelet to make sure you're the right person that's getting the treatment. It takes a few minutes for the platelets to go in your bloodstream, When it's done you're back to being your bubbly, hyper, overconfident self. It's not painful. 

That's all for now.

Enjoy.

LOSING HAIR/CUTTING IT OFF AND DONATING IT TO CHARITY/WIGS/HOME BARBER SESSIONS

Hi Unique Readers,  The most devastating part of treatment. My long thick, straight hair filled with Asian roots fell out. Big clumps were all over the floor and pillow of my hospital room. I was saddened on another level. I know it was gonna grow back, but hair is a huge deal when it comes to being a girl. We take pride in it. It shapes the foundation of who we are as people. It brings us confidence in ourselves. Each style gives us a new personality. It's not cool to have bold patches on your head. I did the next best thing. Get your male parent to cut it off until it's neck length then you don't have any problems. Scissors can do a wonderful job. It wasn't perfect, but it made me feel 10 times better. It gave me back a little bit of pride in my appearance. The rest of the hair got plaited, and secured together with bobbles (hair ties, hair bands as some of you might call them.) I sent it off to a charity called The Little Princess Trust. They use real hair to make wi...

SHARING A ROOM WITH ANOTHER PERSON

 Hi Gorgeous Readers,  The first time I shared a room with someone was at night-time. It was the worst experience at first. Having someone blasting T.V shows across from you isn't the greatest feeling when you dislike noise. Eventually, you have to suck it up, and deal with it. The next couple of weeks in my home away from home, I got to know the person's male parent. The most down to earth, kind person. I was super formal at first, because if a person is all tatted up, you get scared out of your mind. To find out they're compassionate, and understanding makes you more comfortable around them. I preached about my religion loads. Even though the person couldn't chat much, I still felt connected to them, because they knew what I was going through silently.  The person had a cool sensory lava lamp. I used to stare at the colours at night time. or during the day. It made me feel safe and calm. I was in that room until I had a mouth infection. I had to go in a different room...
