bone marrow

OUCH OUCH OUCH. Thats all I can say. I felt so bad for the Fellow doing my bone marrow, something went a bit awry and I started feeling the bone marrow mid-way, so the M.D. took over the procedure and helped the Fellow finish. The pain was not torture, but it was more than uncomfortable. However....the drugs I got as a reward -- definitely worth it. More Ativan and Dilaudid pushed IV. I just woke up from the procedure of this morning at 9:30am, and its now 5p. I could go back to bed for a nap, particularly since the RN just came in and gave me VIcodin to keep the pain away. They truly believe in pain control up here....its just awesome.
