Had the biopsy! When I finally got to the right place, it wasn't any big deal except that the dr's assitant was "push" happy... or she had a really heavy hand. The tech that did the initial ultrasound didn't push down on my throat nearly as much!

It took about half an hour and the dr was very gently and kind. Every time he stuck me with the needle with the anesthetic, he would say "Ok, a pinch and a burn". LOL I barely felt the first "pinch" and no burn at all!

The whole thing was a damn circus, though. Jerry took the paperwork from me and gave it to "admitting" who sent him to the lab where they took a gallon of blood. "They"? A student that was just learning how to take blood! He had a tech standing next to him telling him what to do. He was so nervous he was shaking. A couple of times I told him to just relax because it didn't hurt. The dang needle was in me for at least 10 minutes because he'd aim the needle the wrong way and then he contaminated one of the viles. SHEEEEESH!! Luckily it didn't hurt.

THEN I found out I should have had the biopsy FIRST. Either Jerry didn't tell admitting about the appt for the biopsy or someone had their head "where the sun don't shine"!! Jerry thought it was all so hilarious! I sure didn't!!!

Anyway, Jerry took me out to breakfast after it was all over. I've got this cute little bandage on my neck that looks like a star. LOL Then I have a swollen, purple mark where Dracula sucked my blood! I'm going to live, though. LOL
