I am recovering from a bleeding ulcer where I had to have 2 clips attached in my stomach to the bleeding artery. I had 4 blood transfusions and blood count was a 4 when I arrived by life squad. I was released 5 days later from the hospital and blood count was 9.4. I am curious as to how long should it take for me to start getting my strength back and for the blood count to get back to normal.
