Biopsy Fun with Michael Myers

Quick update, just cause a few folks have checked in, asking. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything new to report just yet. The biopsy was Friday. It really wasn’t as much fun as I thought it’d be. The nurse said they’d be going in through my back or the side of my ribcage, “cause there’s a bunch of nerves and stuff in the chest,” then they promptly started stabbing me in the sternum – at least that’s how I remember it. The fentanyl cocktail they gave me didn’t quite knock me out, so I was able to offer the head of the radiology department suggestions and advice throughout the procedure, which I know he greatly appreciated. I did mention the Diet Mountain Dew theory—that’s about when he started going Michael Myers on me, now that I think about it. They made us hang out for 4 or 5 hours after, before giving us the greenlight to go. I told them I’d be fine with Tylenol when I got home. That really sounded good coming out of my mouth, but by first thing Saturday morning I was on the phone to get some real meds. Between my whining, C’s lower back flaring up, and T’s knee, it was a virtual MASH unit around here over the weekend—think C and I trading Percocet and Vicodin … Tegan just swigging straight Scotch. But we’re all doing better on the pain front now. Anyway, I figured I get the “no news yet” out there for those wondering. Thanks again for all the prayers and support and help—can’t say it enough—too many blessings to count! T’s MRI is on Thursday, and I should be hearing something soon, so we’ll keep you posted … until then, peace, love, and again, thanks!!!
