More Tests
My brother-in-law John had his first visit to SCCA yesterday as he was my designated driver to have a bone marrow biopsy and a spinal tap. My buddy Tim was not available to start my IV and take my blood so I got someone different who, naturally, had some difficulty getting my vein stuck. The procedure went fine and they prescribed soda pop for me to drink as the caffene is supposed to greatly reduce or eliminate the headache caused by the spinal tap. I hadn't had pop in quite a few years so this was a bit weird for me but evidentially it worked as I haven't had a headache. My back is fine except for the three holes they put in it and I can move pretty well, I just have to remember it's there and be cautious. Marc was there when I woke up and I really don't remember the ride home but he's very patient about letting me repeat myself and my stories over and over. Didn't write yesterday because it probably wouldn't have made any sense. Off from SCCA today, but back bright and early tomorrow. Oh what fun we are having!
