BMB

I have had a couple of BMB's since my diagnosis. My last one was with a CAT scan to find the thinnest part of the hip bone, then some local anesthetic, and not too much discomfort. Apparently, my bone is unusually dense, so finding the thinnest part saves us both some some wear and tear. So far, I have been able to tolerate the discomfort, but I will keep the conscious sedation in mind.
