After arriving in an ambulance I was subjected to more scans before being given a bed. The bed was in a shared room with 5 other people because at the time the hospital didn't have any private rooms available. After spending a night in hospital I had my blood taken and then I got to see some doctors the next morning.
My experience with the doctor started off fantastic. I had a team of 3 haemoglobin doctors (blood doctors) come see my about alarming issues in my blood. Apparently all my blood counts including my white blood cells were very low which is why I was getting sick all the time. Because of the risk of infection the doctors quickly put me onto antibiotics.
The next few days are quite a blur, lots of blood tests and a bone marrow test. To get bone marrow I was rolled to my side whilst the doctor numbed my hip. From there all I felt was a lot of pressure on my hip whilst the doctor took 3 bits of bone. It was a fairly unpleasant experience which I wished they could have knocked me out for.
So the bone marrow tests were going to take a few days but hopefully soon we were going to get some answers.
