My Mum had a dozen or more transfusions Deylon. She was usually at the hospital for the day each time.
She only used to sit in a chair there, with the equipment next to her. She didn't have to go to bed there.
You should feel much improved afterwards.
It isn't much good asking how long we had to wait because all hospitals are different and have different work schedules and waiting lists. Also, as has already been said, it depends on how many units they think you need.
Try to stop worrying because if it is urgent, I am sure they will fit you in much quicker. Good luck.

Re: Saw specialist Today
Deylon, I had a blood transfusion many years ago and, apart from you needing to take the drip with you if you need the toilet, it is just a case of sitting still till you have been given the correct amount. I needed 6 pints so was kept in for a few days but I think yours will just take a few hours.Don't worry about it, but do take something to read & ask if you should eat anything that will help your condition. I think I was told to eat liver, but not overcook it, and plenty of green veg, like spring cabbage.
Treat it as an opportunity to sit back and do nothing, while they work on making you feel better.
