February 26, 2017..  I had one appointment today (Sunday). It was for a physical exam in preparation for the bone marrow procedure tomorrow and for them to take blood samples. They collected 11 tubes of blood.
I have an umbilical hernia that I have had for a long time but it has not bothered me until recently. The nurse practitioner that examined me today was concerned about it causing me a serious problem. After hearing her explain what could happen with it, I got concerned too. I will soon call a general surgeon's office in Kingsport and see what I can do about getting scheduled to get it repaired.
Tomorrow, I have the sedated bone marrow procedure. We have to be there at 7:30am.
