If you've ever had your bone marrow harvested, how was the recovery? I read "median recover time is 20 days" but that's not really telling me when I'll feel like getting back on the bike.
From what I understand, it's a general anesthetic procedure and they pull it out of your pelvis. The impression I'm getting from the literature I've read makes this seem like it's on par with having my wisdom teeth taken out.
I'm looking for personal experiences. How long were you inactive, and how was the recovery? How's the pain from the extraction site? What does having marrow removed from your body do in terms of affecting training?
I'm scheduled to do this in early May. My A race is in mid August.
