There is no curing a sick man who believes himself to be in health. ~Henri Amiel
Today I’m having a biopsy done of the tumors in my abdomen and the tumors in my liver. Now we get down to the nitty gritty of what’s going on. I’m thrilled and excited, aren’t you?
Actually I wish we didn’t have to do it at all. Whenever you take a needle and poke a tumor with it there’s a risk that you are going to release some cells…which could make this nasty disease spread to other organs. That’s the easiest way I can break it down without getting all medical and scientific.
I don’t like to get all medical and scientific…
Why do I call it a bionic biopsy? Lack of sleep for one. I’m so sleep deprived it’s silly. I’m afraid I’ll miss something. I’m also afraid that if I go to sleep I won’t wake up. Now isn’t that silly?
The biopsy is also dubbed “bionic” because it’s being performed by the doctor with mad skills, poor bedside manner…the one who said 10 times, “this is complicated, very, very complicated.” Looking back I wish I would have given him a snarky retort. I guess I was in shock so I’ll do better next time.
The bionic biopsy is an outpatient procedure that will be performed at 9:30 am EST…send good vibes my way.
With any luck I’ll be home by noon and napping…

I would take mad skills over bedside manners any day! My surgeon had amazing skills, yet couldnt converse worth a flip
I will be praying for you today (I do everyday), that the cancer would be gone, but if not, that it would not spread and that the doctor with mad skills would be having a tip top kinda day!
Im here if you need me,

I’d rather have a doctor with mad skills and poor bedside manor then a doctor with no skills and a wonderful bedside manor
That’s why House rocks. I hope it goes well!
