Developments during day 5 of the insulation

The day started like everyone else with connecting to some drips, taking blood and taking some body values. These values ​​were all fine, so no surprises!

Later in the day all blood values ​​were updated on the overview, as you can see below.

The result of the blood values

The leukocytes still drop a little further towards the zero point and the hemoglobin values ​​are nicely stable. What is striking is that the number of platelets falls even further and as I indicated earlier, '10' is a bit the lower limit that you would rather not fall below. As you can see I am now at 13 and so it is starting to get very close.

Too low a number of platelets means that the blood cannot clot properly and therefore gives some extra risks in matters such as cuts / blood loss. Don't worry, it's no need to panic. I feel fine and tomorrow there is expected to be a blood transfusion (for platelets) to increase this again.

Again: I am in very good hands here and I am not worried about anything 🙂 For now I will stick to this update, tomorrow you will hear from me what happened and how it went!

Greetings, Stephan
