I had a blood test about 3 or 4 days ago and just got the report today. My lymphocytes count is at 44, while it was 14 back on April 25th. Should I be worried about this change?

I'm really worried about my wife who's got dengue. Her platelet count was initially at 52,000, but then it dropped to 18,000, which led us to get her admitted and she had a platelet transfusion. Since then, her platelet counts have been creeping upfirst 28,000, then 36,000, and now it's at 47,000. I'm confused because I thought after a transfusion, her platelets would increase more quickly. Is this normal or should I be concerned about how slowly they're going up?

I recently had a blood test and they poked me with a needle, but the doctor couldn't find the vein right away and kind of moved it around under my skin. That was a few days ago, and now there's this light green patch where they poked me. I'm a bit worried because I thought bruises were usually blue or black. Is this light green color something I should be concerned about?
