February 27, 2017.. I completed the bone marrow biopsy procedure today. It went really well. I just don't mind it at all now since I get it while sedated. It sure does make a big difference. I think back at how bad it was when I was having it done without being put to sleep. It was just awful. Cutting through the bone was not all that bad but when they pulled it all out was just about unbearable for me. Some people don't seem to feel that pain but I sure did. Now, I am just asleep and feel nothing.
The bone marrow procedure was the only test I had today but tomorrow will be a big day with PET and two MRI's. The PET starts at 9am and the last MRI starts at 5:30pm.
Thank you Darlene and Kathy for the nice comments you made on the blog. I sure do appreciate you doing that. Darlene is the leader of our myeloma support in Johnson City and Kathy is half of the couple Kathy and Steve that we do things with like trail riding on the ATV and go camping with.
I understand there is bad weather forecast for home and there is for here also. I hope none of us have any bad weather.
So glad you chose to be sedated so no severe pain. It was great tonight catching up on trail talk. Will be glad when we hit the trails together again!! Prayers for all your test tomorrow

ReplyDeleteJerry and Reta,
ReplyDeleteKnow this will be on Monday's blog. Hope your testing went well today., I know about those evening and into the night MRIs. Just seen the weather there, looks like it might be rough there right now. I remember those sirens going on for what seemed like hours. Praying for great test results. Love to you both, Darlene
