I had my biopsy this morning. It went well. The radiologist told me she thinks that the calcifications were benign, I assume from looking at them. She had a heavy accent and some of what she said was hard to understand. I managed to get into position and hold it as long as I needed to and they were really efficient. It only took 30 minutes and it was scheduled for 90 minutes which is more consistent with prior experiences.
My back did not like the 2.5 hour each way ride. I took a couple pillows so I could adjust my position and that helped but I'm pretty sore now.
My doctor is out of town but his partner prescribed me a muscle relaxer and PT. My mom is going into town in the morning for the muscle relaxer. I hope it helps without knocking me out. I don't have much experience with them. By some miracle the pharmacy has already filled it. I'm hoping that means things are operating more smoothly there. I'm hoping PT won't start until next week to give me time to get the pain under control a bit. Right now it's better after hours of heat and ice and a vicodin but it doesn't take much to bring the bad pain back.
We're having Christmas scheduling issues for Christmas part 2. We have to do 2 separate celebrations and my brother's work schedule is not working well for getting #2 together. Hopefully soon.
Now I just have to figure out how to sleep with severe pain and a bra on. It's supposed to be on for 24 hours. Normally I'm ok with that but with everything else right now it's a lot. Oh well. I'm very tired so hopefully I'll fall asleep and ignore it.
