The thyroid biopsy was not as comfortable as I thought it would be. Five NEEDLE passes ...yes it was only a 25 gauge needle--but even with the lidocaine..it hurt (and let me tell you I was relaxed..breathing well...not tight and anxious.) It felt like I was kicked in the Thyroid..a place I have never even felt before. They were able to get what they needed...a total of 10 slides for the pathologist to examine. I should hear about it tomorrow or Friday.
My summary is that I don't like being out of control in situations like ..well...medical biopsies. I much prefer natural childbirth..I was in charge of my body and I was rewarded with beautiful children. I did more Algebra in the waiting area to calm my mind and keep me on task. That was nice. I enjoy the distributive prinicple most. I like going from the start again so I can remember the very basics and how to build the ideas--this should help when I help my kids...so they will love Algebra too (hopeful).
I had a good lunch with my Mother-in-law...who actually came to the hospital with me and waited. This is a sacrifice because after her own trip with Cancer the hospital is a place she is happy to avoid. We followed up with lunch...a great salad..and I eased my distress with a nice Margarita...yes, at 11:30 in the morning. I need a little nap now. I am settled. Happy to have heard Lee's voice - he called me from Iraq to see how I was. Kind. Kids have a play date after school. This is goo because I have chosen not share any of this with them. They don't need it..and I really don't have much I can tell them...They have enough to cope with having their Dad gone for a year in at war in Iraq.
I will post more when I know more..tomorrow or the next day.
God is great...and I fell a little sore now but blessed with modern medicine and access to good health care.
