My god what else can go wrong, horrendously low blood pressure, 1st blood test after op showed borderline anaemia now 4 days post op it’s gone down again - a lot - so

blood transfusion needed. 

Thanks to all you lovely people on here I now understand how common low blood pressure after a THR is. But I’ve just been told my 2nd blood test is lower than my first so not only have I now got to have a blood transfusion but they can’t get a cannula in because my veins keep collapsing. Have any of you hippies had this happen and why do you get more anaemic as the days post op go on?

    Hi I am home now but I feel my level of care all round has been really negligent so when I feel a bit better I intend to complain. What good it will do though I haven’t a clue
