In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your doctor may perform the bone marrow tests in their office, as they usually take no more than 30 minutes total. Book an appointment for one or both tests, depending on the advice of your doctor. Your doctor may suggest you get both tests done to have a more detailed range of results. Your doctor may not be equipped to do this test themselves. In this case, they may refer you to a different doctor. Before you take the tests, let your doctor know if you are taking any medications or if you are allergic to any medications. You should also tell them if you are pregnant or if you have any medical issues or disorders, especially bleeding disorders. The bone marrow aspiration and the bone marrow biopsy should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to perform. In most cases, the sample will be taken from the back ridge of your hip bone. The area will be numbed with local anesthesia, so you should not feel more than a slight sting or a sharp but brief pain. Your doctor will walk you through each step of the test so you are aware of what is happening and can remain calm. If you are worried about the pain, you can ask your doctor for an IV sedation. This will ensure you are not awake for the procedure and will not feel any pain. Once the procedure is over, you will need to rest for several minutes and avoid rising up too quickly. The doctor will apply pressure to the area before putting a bandage on. If you received IV sedation, you will need to have someone drive you home and rest for 24 hours so the sedation can wear off. Do not wet the bandage in the shower or bath, as this can negatively affect the incision. Wrap the bandage in plastic wrap to keep it from getting wet if you do bathe or shower. After 24 hours, it is okay for you to get the area wet. The incision area can feel irritated and sensitive to the touch for the next few days as it heals. Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce any pain. Follow the dosage instructions on the label and never take more than the recommended amount. The pain and tenderness should fade within a week. These are signs the incision area may have become infected. Head to your doctor's office or the nearest medical center right away for treatment.
Summary: Make an appointment for the tests with your doctor. Tell your doctor about any medications you are on. Remain calm and still during the tests. Lie on your back for 10-15 minutes to allow the anesthesia to wear off. Keep the bandage dry for 24 hours. Take over-the-counter pain medication if the area feels tender or painful. Go to the doctor if you experience swelling, fever, excessive bleeding, or severe pain.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start by making a list of all the things you love that don't require or involve money. Refer to this list often and try to incorporate one or more things on the list into each day. Some things on your list might include: love, laughter, faith, family, long walks, nature, and more. Struggling financially can often lead to unhappiness in life. While it's often difficult to ever be in a position where money isn't a concern at all, you can lessen the stress by living within your means. Instead of just buying whatever you want, think through every purchase and mostly only buy the things that you need in order to survive comfortably. If your friend just got the new iPhone and you really like it, take a look at your own phone. If it's functioning properly, there's no need to get a new one. If your phone has issues, do some research to see what affordable, reliable phones are currently on the market. Instead of focusing on all of the things you don't have, try to focus on all of the things you do have. If you're often wanting more than you possess, you might never feel fulfilled because there are so many fancy, expensive material items out there and you may never be able to buy all of them. Try to get enjoyment out of the things you already own and use. If you're frustrated because you can't afford a fun video game that just came out, play some of the games you already own. You bought those for a reason, and you can have fun playing them as well.
Summary:
Incorporate non-material joys into your life. Buy what you need and not what you want. Desire what you have.
