My late Uncle's wife got hospitalized for a very low Hemoglobin levels
It is a very serious matter if one's hemoglobin levels will be low particularly if it gets dangerously low. My late uncle's wife had about 64 while the normal levels for normal people should be more than double that level. So this morning she went to the hospital thinking that she will just go for a regular check-up but once the complete blood count (CBC) result was read by the doctor, she was advised to get admitted and now was confined to the hospital.
She cannot walk anymore by the way unlike in the past and now she is using a wheelchair to get her from point A to point B but I am guessing that she is not just so fat but because she had gotten very weak. Now my mother saw her very plump this morning while she was wheeled-out from their house which my mother had thought at first that they will just be going to eat out but was told by my cousin that they will go to the hospital because of how the wife of my late uncle is feeling. I guess that she already has complications either with her heart or Kidneys because edema is a hallmark sign of some heart disease and Kidney disease as well.
My cousin said that she gets so breathless with just a short distance walk inside their house which has a lot of causes like what I mentioned. However the crashed hemoglobin levels, she is now bound to be infused with three bags of blood which I think is not enough for the level of her hemoglobin because one nag is supposed to raise it by 1 point and if she has 64, it will just raise it at a level not exceeding 90+ and still too low to say that it will be ok afterwards while still not knowing what would be the cause which I hope that it is not of Kidney disease origin otherwise it will get so hard for her considering that she is already old and has hypertension if not a heart disease.
Well for one thing being sick is not good, it robs you of enjoying your life especially if you will get sick even before you get into the "first base" where in my case I was already sick even while I am inside my mother's womb as my mother recalls me inside her womb not being moving or kicking too much unlike my brothers which is why she thought that I was the supposed daughter that she and my father was aiming to get and got surprised when I turn out to be another boy, it is because there were no ultrasound back then and actually I was born inside the house, my grandfather's house which was the house before this house got built. Myself and the rest of my siblings were born in the old house.
Back to my uncle's wife I can't even call her Aunt because my uncle was just her second husband and she uses her first husband's surname and I think that it is just an insult to my father's side of the family. But anyway she is fat and this is an important issue for the reason that it is not a good thing as it will beget health complications like I mentioned above, however if you would talk to her about her diet, you will compare yourself as a pig when it comes to eating in comparison and it is funny because her body size shows otherwise.
She has a lot of problems now with regards to who will be with her to accompany her in the hospital because her only companion in the hose was my cousin and she has very young kids to take care of and definitely will not be able to accompany her at the hospital all the time, however I think they will going to hire some person to take care of her and they can afford it because some of my cousins are living abroad, I hope that she recovers.
