I feel kinda dumb for asking that, but I was never good at math:) Is that a lot of blood or what? How big are the bags or whatever they use to hold the blood? I was put to sleep when it was done so I really dont know much about the whole blood thing. thanks people for the help

roughly 450ml per unit x 2 = 900ml , so just shy of a liter of blood, or in your case ~20% of your blood volume.

The blood cells are misshapen and tend to build up in capillaries, causing a ton of pain. SCA is a genetic disorder affecting the blood proteins. The blood cells in turn have a lower affinity for oxygen.
