Nope I wasn't admitted to the hospital.  I would go in for four hours, get hooked up to the pheresis machine and have one large IV inserted into each arm and watch a movie while they filtered out my platelets and then I would go back home.  Did you have a central line inserted into your neck?  Did they admit you to the hospital?

Were you in the hospital for the apheresis and did they go through you neck?
