Run Away!! Run Away!!

Yes I know it’s been a while, but I haven’t been in the mood to blog lately. But after today, I had better blog.
I have had a real freaked out few weeks. Going to this Doctor and that Doctor and having all kinds of tests. Well today was the topper. I had a bone marrow biopsy done. Yes it’s a whole lot of fun. And of coarse I’m being sarcastic. Very sarcastic. If they ever want to do one on you, run away, yes run as fast as you can to the exit.
It’s not pleasant. But, I guess it could be worse. They could always want to do both sides of you. You see the procedure goes like this. They give you numbing medication, local anesthetic of some kind. I mean a lot of it. Then they advance a long needle, about three to four inches long. They have to go into your hip bone and of coarse it feels like they are drilling into the bone with a 3/8 inch drill bit. Well anyways, that’s what it felt like. Then they take some of the marrow out. Then they’re done. They forgot to tell me I might have trouble standing up and walking. I thought I was going to take the cute nurse right down to the floor with me. I think, I’m going to have a nice little bruise on my knee where I fell.
Oh, by the way, my CT scan I had a week or so ago, didn’t give the Dr. any reason for my condition, that’s why the bone marrow was done today. The only thing that they found in the CT scans was that I have some junk in my gall bladder, as Dr. B. told me.
Well who knows what’s up. I’m sure it will be another several tests before they know.
The weather has been freaky, not to cold and not much snow.
I haven’t had to really use my new jacket that much. But don’t worry, winter will still get us.
Well that’s all for now, I can’t sit on this hard chair any longer. My hip is starting to hurt…….. TTFN.
