Have a biopsy of scheduled for April 8. I've nicknamed it "the thing"

6. Back and resting from the biopsy.

My gastro doc called the radiologist the night before the procedure to talk with him, then he called me yesterday morning before the procedure. They were not set up to a do a transvaginal approach so they went through my back. They gave me just enough Versed/Fentanyl so I was relaxed and didn't feel anything, but was still able to move as needed and converse with them (and remember what was said). The actual procedure only lasted 45 min, but with the prep and recovery, I really was in there 5 hours.

They ordered a few additional tests that I hadn't heard of before:

AFB Culture (sounds like it's a tuberculosis test)
Fungus Culture
Miscellaneous Culture, aerobic and anaerobic includes gram

I'm supposed to get the results in about 5 days. Not looking forward to it, but know I have to face whatever it is.
