Bone marrow biopsy

This week in preparation for a clinical trial I had a bone marrow biopsy.
I have had 4 previous bone marrow biopsies during my myeloma journey.
Unlike a few unfortunate others I have had no problems except for a little soreness over the following 2 days.
The procedure at my hospital is to have a local anaesthetic and a mild sedative, I agree with that.
The sedative puts me to sleep; I feel nothing and wake up in the recovery room when it is all over.
Myra always comes along to watch and said that when they pull the sample out my toes wriggle!!
Now I wait for the results.
