4/21/2010 Still in DRMC

True to his word, Dr. Te showed up early Wednesday morning to perform the blood and bone biopsy on my pelvic bone. He did the procedure himself with help from my nurse. They knocked me out and did the procedure, the next thing I knew it was around 9:30 or 10:00 and Patty was showing up to see how I was doing. I'm glad she was able to get some rest away from the hospital. They scheduled me for a CT scan after lunch and other than that we spent the day reading, watching TV and wondering which door we would get.

Dixie Hospital loves to count, they loved to count amounts of things for me, so we had to save all my urine, one thing I forgot to talk about was the IV drip of saline that had been started and going in me at 125 ml / hr since I had been there. Needless to say, they got all the samples they could have wanted.

We called mom and dad and told them I was in there - probably should have called sooner, but I was still in denial about the results of the tests and didn't want to upset them over nothing, they came over in the afternoon to see us for a while and we talked about what we knew up to that point - which wasn't very much. Not much else happened on Wednesday, we knew they were running the biopsies and looking at the CT Scan results.
