MDS Thanksgiving Yields Good Blood Count?

It appears that holiday over-eating has no deleterious effect on the MDS blood count.

Yesterday's blood numbers:

• Platelets - 112,000
• Hemoglobin: 11.9

These digits are decently high for halfway through the non-shots period.

And, they seem to provide living proof that stuffing one's self with—among other things—stuffing (not to mention

• turkey
• macaroni and cheese
• myriad salads
• tofu veggie loaf
• several types of pie
• and ice cream;

and, the next day,

• a Thai feast
• several types of pie
• and frozen musk melon bars;

and, the next day

• lasagna
• ravioli
• spaghetti
• myriad salads
• several types of pie
• and ice cream)

does not harm the MDS patient. Indeed, it might do him good, since he doesn't consume much food during Shots Weeks.

I must consult Dr. O about recommending that Thanksgiving be staged more regularly so as to fatten the MDS-er to best be ready to face winter's cold. Maybe we have T-day about twice a month, say?

Dee-lish.
