Oddly enough it is the same day Talib is having his biopsy. Thursday the 8th. Mine is at 4:15 though, it will likely be the last appointment they have since the offices close at 5.
I immediately called my manager at Beverly's and let her know. She basically gave me the day off, I could have worked in the morning but I think she had enough coverage I'm not needed. That's good.
That's also the day the head of HR/Payroll returns from vacation at the nursery. I need to let her know what's going on as well.
The procedure (for me) shouldn't take any longer than about 45 minutes maybe a half hour, but they want someone to drive me home just to let me relax and not have any stress. I will be bound up and slightly numb in the chest area so it would be uncomfortable to drive I suppose. I've driven with a sprained right ankle, talk about pain and discomfort!
So anyway, my roommate has a babysitting job that day so she can't do it. I have been told to ask a friends mom if she can do it. Going to ask Amber, she's close to me when she's at work... but she's already under a lot of stress being pregnant and having money issues. We discussed getting signed up with WIC again which is even better now than it was when she had Ava.
So, luckily I don't take any medications, not allergic to anything medically speaking so in that area I'm good. The last time I had a large needle probing me was when I was pregnant with Devon and they did an amniocentesis (whoa I spelled that right on the first try!). That wasn't a needle, it was a soil probe! Geeez! So this is going to be very uncomfortable being essentially right under my chin. When they did the amnio it was about in the same location, they went in from the top of my belly so it was very close to my face lying down. (I was about two months away from my due date at that point but feeling very huge.)
So, I won't know the results for about 5 days after the biopsy. It's 3-5 working days for the doctor to get the test results and since it's on a Thursday I won't expect any news until the following Tuesday or Wednesday.
At least I don't feel sick. I just have the anxiety of not knowing whether I have cancer or not.
Talib... geez, I'm praying for you buddy. You're going through a lot more hell than I am right now.
I made a new pair of earrings, out of my color range. Orange and white striped agate faceted teardrops. If my camera would cooperate I'll take a picture and put them up for sale. I have a matching necklace but need one small gold spacer disk which I'm out of. Can't find a single one. Nada. I know I should have one lingering in a corner somewhere. As soon as I find one I can finish the necklace and get that posted a well.
So, now that I've said that...going to get a glass of water and see if my camera is working.
grrr. I DO NOT have the money for a new camera or batteries right now!
