Over the Easter weekend it was pretty quiet. I did get a visit from the Easter Parents and got some easter eggs (Yay to be able to eat dairy again).
Come Tuesday the doctors had me scheduled for another bone marrow biopsy. This is because of some weird results from the Singapore doctors. Since my experience in Singapore was not great with the biopsy I really was not looking forward to it. Jess my nurse however told me that I can have a drug option which just really relaxes me. Cheapskates in Singapore didn't give me any drugs.
After rolling to my side I was given the drugs, from there I have limited memory of what happened next. I recall telling Shawn (the guy doing the biopsy) that he did a good job when he said all done then I remember waking up 1 and a half hours later in an empty room. Some drugs are sooooo awesome.
That night I was moved from Level 9 to Level 2 because a bed finally got open. It was disappointing to leave the penthouse and my nurses on Level 9. The Level 2 room is pretty good, the view isn't as good but it's a private room with a private bathroom.
Come Wednesday I had an x-ray, colonoscopy and a pet scan planned. For these I needed to fast on Tuesday and start drinking a liquid that would clear my bowels. I figured the joke was on the liquid, I have had diarrhea for the last month. There will be nothing in my stomach (famous last words). That night involved 3 different times I had to drink a liquid which tasted slightly fizzy and lemon. It also involved a good workout with sprints from the bed to the bathroom.
