Bone marrOW biopsy!

Today I had my bone marrow biopsy, which wasn't pleasant, but was far nicer than I had braced myself for! It seems I'm incredibly sensitive to entonox (nitrous oxide) because I spent the majority of the procedure off my face; entirely unperturbed about a chunk of my hip being surgically removed. I'm feeling pretty sore now - I ironically spent too much thought worrying about the biopsy itself to consider the pain of recovering from it - but it's still nothing compared to transverse myelitis. I've had a lovely Sick Day watching daytime TV, dominating at Monopoly (my opponent owns owns Vine Street), and taking painkillers - so I can't complain.
