Memories...or Lack Thereof

The twilight meds given to me on Monday...well, I realized yesterday that I didnt remember flipping back over onto my back post biopsy. Thats never happened before. I was awake the whole time and remember the blinding pain of them pushing hard w their fingertips to find the right place to drill. I remember the drilling and aspiration and bone chipping. The next thing I remember is my brother sotting in the chair across from me and thinking how utterly drained I felt. 

But I have never not remembered some aspect of a biopsy. Too bad I wasnt "away" for the biopsy itself. Mr.Chuck Harrison, being "under the influence" can be such a nicer alternative. 

Day One Testing, One Year Post Transplant, In Da Bag

The worst of the tests is complete. Thank God!  Home. Tired. Gonna be a little more sore than usual because they had a tough time numbung the bone. But I don't care. This test is done!  

Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go Now

Biopsy day - one year post transplant - has arrived. Did not sleep well last night. Super anxious. And I look like it. 

One Day...Until My Next BMB/A

4/19 is the official date of one year post transplant. Tomorrow, the 14th, I have a BMB/A scheduled to ensure I am still in remission. I believe the results are going to be good, but can't help but wonder "what if" - which is common, apparently. This is scary stuff for sure.  Praying, praying, praying.
