The Daily bLog
Today was pheresis day again for me at Albany Medical Center. I'm tired out from the session, so I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

Nurse Jane greeting me at bedside.

The pheresis machine.

Nurse Shannon, my "embalmer du jour."

During the embalming process (the bag hanging with the yellow stuff is my old plasma; the bottles hanging is the albumen with which they replace it...12 bottles in all).

Dr. Taft, my hematologist, told me to come back next Friday for another round, and then again two weeks after that. Hopefully, I will then get ahead of this disease's symptoms. The mouth is the only thing that hasn't come back yet.
