Today I underwent a bone marrow biopsy. Actually two of them, one within each iliac crest. I was told that as a patient I am a bit of an anomaly as I undergo this procedure with only local anesthetic. For me this testing is a bit like going to a dentist – which I just did. Lidocaine stung as it was inserted and then I felt only pressure. I was told the samples were adequate and now we wait for the pathology report.
My back is sore, although in keeping with our stay active principles, Sharon and I went out on a 4+ mile walk treating ourselves with a soft serve ice cream when we returned back to our apartment.
Tomorrow we will visit the Amazon Sheres. We have walked by these many times over the years and there are limited tickets only 2-days a month. We were lucky enough to get tickets. They were as tough to get as a hot concert ticket.
The weekend is going to focus on rest and relaxation. Hope yours is the same.
Larry and Sharon
