Another pain in the butt!

Monday was another routine bone marrow test.
It went very smooth. Once we were done with that, they wanted a sonogram done on on her leg to check on the blood clot.

No peeking while she puts on the stylish, air conditioned hospital gown!

Now, dim the lights and let's get this party started.


As the nurse moved the wand across mom's leg, you could see veins open and collapse. If they collapsed, that was good - that meant there was blood flow and the clot was gone.

Then she hit a button and you could see the blood flow with blue and red shading. It looked more like we were watching the Weather Channel and a storm was heading our way. Which reminded mom, the day she went to the hospital, March 11, was the day the tsunami hit Japan. 

No matter if it's a natural disaster or chemo, both take a long time to heal.
