They better not bollocks this one up or I will have to "talk" with the doctor who did the procedure. My team at the center was not at all pleased with the outcome of the first biopsy. I'm glad they are on my side and don't treat it like I am just patient number whatever.

But, I have to go through that all over again, no lifting over 5 lbs. for a week, terrible pains the first day or two after in the area, pain pills and so on. Groan. I really hoped I was past it and could get on with better things. I go back to the doc at the center again in February, hopefully not to find out the biopsy was a failure a second time.

I am at the hospital now, waiting. I don't feel very good and threw up three times before my brother and I headed up here. Part of it is not having any food since last night. I woke up too late to get breakfast since they want no food in me 8 hours prior to the biopsy. I am thirsty as can be, too ,but can't even have water now.

I was not feeling so well after my biopsy and was sent home despite a 101.9 temperature. I threw uop at least 8 times in the car on the way home and felt even worse, so took my temperature and it was 103. So, off to the ER I went and am staying overnight at the Olathe Hospital.

Yes, but I am tired since nurses come in my room every two hours. They are trying to pinpoint a source of infection now, but my fever has broken and I am hoping to go home today, but if not, then tomorrow. I need to get out of here before the storms hit and I can hunker down in the house and watch KC handle Pittsburgh!
