Needless to say you are rendered unconscious for the procedure. She was in bed for at least a day if not longer.
'Tis with a needle. I was talking with the woman today. Basically.. I'm on call for one of two procedures.
1. Is the bone marrow taken from my hip through big ass needle. :eek3: :huh:
2. Some kind of stem cell (Not brain cell) basically I take medication for a few days to increase the growth of stem cells in my blood. Then, I get hooked up to two needles.. one to suck out my blood, then, after they harvest the cells, one to put my blood back.
The lady submitted my info so... it's now just a waiting game to see if they want me.

Good question. I think so. Marrow commonly is donated because these patients can't grow their own. So.. I'm assuming that it would grow back.

I donated plasma for a while cause I was a poor college student. :chuckles: $20 per hour ain't bad. Gets like a month of ramen noodles. Anyway, that needle was thick it was like a pipe with a sharp edge. :nervous:
