I had my bone marrow biopsy today. It did not take long for the actual procedure. However, I did have to wait a few hours due to me having this VRE thing – I am last in the queue so they can scrub the room afterwards ready for the next days patients.
It is a very strange experience due to the drug they give you to help you relax. For me the drug causes me to not remember anything during the procedure. One minute I am sitting there getting the juice, the next minute it is all over and I am in the recovery area. It is a bizarre feeling. Apparently I am alert and talking during this period but I remember nothing.
By the way, it is a painless procedure. At least they assure me it is – I can’t remember.
