So, I was thinking about this....want to know something....I just realized that now that I have the blood of 3 strangers coursing through my veins (and hopefully not trickling out of my body like my own blood was doing) and even though they do testing & screen the blood and it's so much better than in the '80's, it's not 100% safe.
Of course, that's why I was initially concerned about having to get the transfusions and why my mother was having a conniption fit demanding on the telephone while I was in the ER that I only accept 1 unit even though the Doc was recommending (read: telling me) that I take 3.
Yes, I'm a 36 year old man.
So now I have to pretend like I'm in college again and whip out a damn rubber every time I want to have relations with my wife....in the short amount of time I have before our kid is born in September at which point I'll likely never have $ex again.
What's a feller to do!!!
(and yes, I know, I'll have to get a dang HIV test and then I'll be all good to go, I'm just being overly dramatic
)
But it woulda been nice if the Doc had said, you know, with your pregnant wife, you should use protection until you know for sure...
Anybody else realize this predicament after gettin' somebody's else's blood in 'ya?
