Bone Marrow Biopsy Tomorrow...Uh Oh...

Not looking forward to tomorrow at all, you would think that i would be used to pain by now lol. I have had this procedure done twice all ready, the last time was probably over a year ago now. I think that it is worst the 2nd or 3rd time round because you know what is going to happen. The first time i had a bone marrow smaple taken, it was 2 days after i was diagnosed so i was living in  a parallel universe so i didn't even flinch when they did it as i had no idea what was going on. I felt numb before they even injected me with the local anasthetic. The 2nd time i had it done i went in still pissed from the night before and started moving across the table and just got myself in a right state. It didn't help that the person doing it had the personality of a baked bean and her breath stunk like a coffee machine. I hope that the team tomorrow has a sense of humour cos it definately helps to put me at ease. I think the worst part is the local anasthetic cos it stings like mad. They then use a cork screw like instrument to get the bone marrow sample. It feels like they are trying to pull your hip out of your body but it doesn't hurt cos of the anasthetic. It jsut feels bloody weird to be honest. The first time i had a sample taken i looked at it afterwards and i thought i was going to pass out. I don't know why i said 'yeah i will have a look at it' when offered. I haven't been sedated in the past as it wasn't offered to me. I have requested to be sedated tomorrow but if they let me film it then i will choose not to be as i want to be brave for the camera. I can then also talk whilst they are doing it as i can talk for England when i am nervous i come out with some rite jibberish, mind you people might think that anyway lol. I better not swear other wise i will have to put a age restriction on it lol.

I am also on BBC Radio Suffolk on Monday 11th October at around 10AM, i am becoming a celebrity now lol.
