Today has been a roller coaster for me. I put the kitties to bed around midnight, which is sort of early for me. And I had a wonderful night of sleep. I even managed to sleep on my stomach for just a few minutes, a feat in itself with just having that biopsy. Speaking of it, I must say I wonder does everybody's breast itch after you have this done? I am not sure if it is from the surgery, or from the strips they put on the incision....to begin with it definitely feels like it is from deep within, but I don't know if that is possible.

I tried to process my Connecting Thread order; I could not sign in in any shape form or fashion. I first deleted temporary files and the cookies, closed browser window and reopened and tried again. I had to call customer service and finally finished that order.

Next, I tried to get my order together for Hancocks of Paducah. I had to call customer service twice there. I did finally get the job accomplished, but not before wasting my whole morning. Here it is after 1:00 p.m. and I have not accomplished anything else. I had wanted to get those orders placed and go sew, and now I am not much in the mood to do anything.

I do need to go down there though and attempt to do something. I think once I start I will be okay.

Just have to add a little post to tell that they called about the biopsy--it is negative all the way. Not cancer, no pre-cancer cells. I just need to do the follow up mammogram in 6 months. I still don't know if I was in denial or if I really had faith.

Yesterday the biopsy did not get done...they got me ready, numbed me, made the incision, and when they 'fired' the needle in, it hit a gusher. I bled and bled. This doctor has been doing this procedure for 12 years and it is the first time she has ever had to stop before she got the biopsy done. There was a LOT of blood...when they let go of me so I could turn over on my back, blood shot out at least 2 feet. Gauze pads were being saturated in just seconds. They finally got it stopped but held pressure on it for another 45 minutes to an hour. I was told that if it started bleeding at home and we could not stop it in a few minutes to get to the emergency room because I could bleed to death.

However, I am going back October 3 to try again...the procedure isn't bad at all. I really wasn't dreading it much before and now even less. I know this was a rare thing to happen...the doctor kept apologizine and I told her that if it was going to happen to anyone, it would happen to me. And that it was no more her fault than it was mine. It was just one of those things.
