Biopsy results are in (and other updates)
The biopsy turned out fine. The just want me back in a few months for a follow up to be safe, but it looks like I dodged that one. And the pain and bleeding and all only lasted a few days. Not as big a deal as I had anticipated. That was probably my biggest relief… when I picked up the phone to hear the nurse tell me the good news.
I’m on yet more meds. Yet more side effects (but the benefits are far greater). And I’m actually remembering to take them!
I’m due for another EKG. Last time I went in for sinusitis she had talked about doing another one (since they always ask about everything else concerning overall health.) I probably need it, but honestly, I’m sick of them. Same with needles. They take too much blood. And doctors in general. There really should be a limit to how many times you have to go. Oh, and antibiotics. Seems like every time I go, they give me some. And it’s always the same one. And always the one that makes my stomach really sick.
On a happier note, I refused to weigh when I went in for the biopsy. And the therapist and psychiatrist both supported my decision. (The poor girl, I even refused backward weighing because I’m just sick of my weight constantly being up for scrutiny.) And my sinusitis finally seems to be cleared up. Chronic infection can kiss my lily white butt.

Oh phew, thank goodness the biopsy went okay.
Boo to side effects, yay for the meds working!
Aww, is there another antibiotic that might not wreck so much havoc in your stomach?
Alright, good for you! I haven’t weighed myself in months. I don’t really want to know & I don’t need to. The first few times is the hardest, though, so good luck. Take care of yourself!
Love,
Li

1. What do you mean by symptom and precautions?
2. What exactly is the implication of “biopsy” (quotes usually indicate doubt or sarcasm or something which I don’t understand the relevence of)?
