It was a sunny morning, so Suzie and I decided to look at this trip into Sutton as a ‘day trip in to the country!  Sutton is a strange place, not much to it.  I would personally never like to live there.  It is not pretty enough to live that far away from London.

When they sedated me for the bone marrow biopsy, Suzie was disappointed, I simply fell asleep, and did not start talking some weird nonsense under the drug.  She disappeared when they did the actual biopsy, I do not blame her. 

I was told, I would not remember the procedure or the pain, but I can tell you, I do.  It was painful!  I just could not physically scream aloud, since I was under the sedation.  But, in retrospect, it is all a hazy memory, and I am no longer affected by any of the experience.

Later in the room when I was still recovering from the sedation, a grown man had the same procedure done, but without sedation, screaming a lot!  A note to my self, always take the sedation when offered.

It is a struggle to do all this travelling when you are not feeling well.  I am not really ‘with it’, and having Suzie with me, is a blessing.
