One week to go!

Bone Marrow Biopsy/Aspiration was definitely painful!! It also took a lot longer than the 30min that was expected. The dr had a bit of a time getting into the bone...as he said I have dense strong bones!
First thought was I always knew I was "big/strong boned" haha... next though is that if my bones are nice and dense/strong than I would have thought that I wouldn't have so many problems with teeth and also that my calcium levels would average higher than the borderline low that they do... then again being female and bleeding for 3 years in the past, 6 months this year, and still some excess bleeding now it makes sense...

One week and I should be learning what is happening... hoping and praying for any result that isn't 'inconclusive' or fully 'normal' - would be nice to have something more specific to look at, understand, and know where to start for making it better.
