Scattered Thoughts . . .

I had my post bone marrow biopsy follow-up appointment with my oncologist today.  We discussed the biopsy procedure, my lingering pain at the site of the biopsy, my lab results and my current condition in a Zoom TeleVisit (seen in photo, at right) which meant we didn't need to drive to the hospital.  The appointment was in our living room.   First we discussed how I have been feeling over the past few months.   My oncologist seemed to be a little surprised that I am still feeling quite lousy since my ambulance ride to the hospital in January and that I am still having great difficulty in doing just small things for a couple of hours.  In order for me to do something for just a couple of hours (ie, grocery shopping, dinner with the grandkids, Kenzie's figure skating, Lukey's hockey, etc) requires planning and closely managing energy.  In order to do any small thing, I need to get extra sleep beforehand and taking extra medications for a day leading up to when we want to do
