On to the bone marrow extraction...

Hello All,
Tomorrow morning at about 11:00 AM Central Standard Time, the Stem Cell Institute in Panama City is going to take me into surgery to take my extract my bone marrow for the harvesting of my stem cells. The procedure will only take about five minutes, but they are going to put me to sleep. Today, the doctors said I will only be asleep for about 20 minutes. Then, once I wake up, they are going to keep me in a recovery room for about one hour. After that, I will be able to go back to my hotel room. That pretty much sums up what they are going to do tomorrow. I am sure I will be sore after the procedure, who knows. But one thing is for sure, I will update everyone as to how I am doing tomorrow.

Also, check back on my blog tomorrow as the doctor's assistant will be videotaping the procedure tomorrow for me so I can post it on here. So be sure to check back here tomorrow to see the procedure. That is it for now.

Goodbye and good night everyone!

  1. Hi Cass! I am praying for you and am eager to hear how everything goes. It sounds like tomorrow will be a tiring day for you, even though your procedure will altogether take less than 2 hours. Stay positive and keep us updated, okay? Good luck tomorrow!
