Biopsy

Well, I had my biopsy on Monday. I was there from 8-11:30am. The odd thing is the actual procedure took only two minutes. The biopsy didn't look anything like the picture I put up a couple weeks back, but wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting this to be entirely painless, but this was, in my opinion, quite violent. Imagine liposuction (I am assuming you have seen this done on TV at least once) with a small needle on your neck. Yeah, quite rough. Anyway, it's done, and for the most part, painless.

All of this biopsy business reminds me of one of my favorite movies, My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Aunt Voula: [to Ian's parents] Now, you are family. Okay. All my life, I had a lump at the back of my neck, right here. Always, a lump. Then I started menopause and the lump got bigger from the "hormonees." It started to grow. So I go to the doctor, and he did the bio... the b... the... the bios... the... b... the "bobopsy." Inside the lump he found teeth and a spinal cord. Yes. Inside the lump was my twin.
I am not going through menopause, or geesh, I hope not, but I imagine it does have to do with "hormonees." Though, I will die, if they remove my thyroid and there are actually teeth and a spinal cord. I promise you, you will NEVER know if that happens! HA. No seriously, I get the results back on Monday, and I am expecting good news. Say a prayer!

Until Then. "Oréa viziá."

  1. You are sooo funny! Love this picture!!! Yes, if it is your "twin" on your neck, we will have a funeral in my back yard.
