Biopsy

Today I went for the biopsy on my thyroid.
It wasn't all that bad. It was having to get up early that I didn't want to do.
But I did.
Anyway...
The procedure itself was fine.
They gave me 2 shots of pain killer to numb my neck.
Those stung some at first but then they started working and it was all good.
Then they stuck me with the needle and used the ultra sound thing to guide it and see where it was and what they were doing and got some stuff out to test.
They were really nice and told me everything they did before they did it and asked if I was okay a lot.
Which I was.
I went to sleep in the middle of it.
All in all it wasn't really bad, I mean I took a nap during it.
But they said we should know the results by Monday or Tuesday.
The numbness in my neck is finally wearing off.
It doesn't hurt, but it is kind of sore and I have several little pin pricks or what have you where they poked me with needles and a faded black dot from the sharpie they marked me with.
That's pretty much it for now...
I'll post again when I know the results.

As for now I'm headed off to my friend's sixteenth birthday party!
It should be a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to it.

And I believe that is all so until next time....
