Shands Tuesday, Oct 13, Day 2
We got here at around 8or 9am. Today I was scheduled for a spinal tap. I was nervous since the bone marrow thing was very painful. It hurt so bad when they got into the bone (3 times), and the next day or two I felt like I’d been kicked by a horse. oh my gosh. that really hurt! they will have to do more bone marrow biopsies, because it is the ONLY way to tell if I am in remission. not taking any chances there… The spinal tap was a piece a cake. Don who is getting quite medical, got to stay in the room for both procedures. Anyway, on with the story, we ate breakfast but because they had told us we would need another CT scan I was not to eat again until after the procedure. This did not start until 5 pm when I got to drink a quart of contrast with purple gatorade over 1 1/2 hours. Yuck!! no CT until 630 pm!!!!! Don and I were starving! Not to mention, I’m already dealing with weakness, fatigue, and nausea. ugghhh. What a long day. We ate dinner at a china buffet afterwards, my favorite. Mom and dad had already eaten so they just watched.
Hang in there baby girl! I love you so much! You can do this…one day at a time. I will be there soon and I am ALWAYS with you in spirit. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. All my love, your loving sister, Ginny
