I’m really very worried…

Following annual blood tests I’ve been diagnosed with severe anaemia, my haemoglobin level is close to 60% of its normal (already lowish) level. Tomorrow morning I collect a referral from my GP to take to the big public hospital four suburbs to the west of here for assessment and possible treatment. I don’t know how long I’ll be there but I’m packing a go-bag with essential clothing, electronic communication/entertainment toys, medications and toiletries.
