Update on my appointment with the liver specialist.

I have to go back on April 22 for a liver biopsy. I'm sooo nervous bout this. They told me I will have to lay flat on my back for 4-6 hours after they do it and to expect to be at the hospital the whole day. I cannot lay flat on my back now without my chest tightening up I have no clue how I'm going to do this. Plus I'm worried because I have no clue what to expect and thats going to have to be a huge needle to biopsy my liver. I'm just soo anxious.Any good thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.

I will be praying for you and sending you lots of love and hugs during your biopsy and the hours afterwards. I will also pray that your guardian angel is at your side and keep you safe through it all.

Thanks!

Tons of prayers and well wishes for the 22nd!  You will be just fine! I am positive of it!

Thanks I'm just so stinking anxious. Are you finishing up your meatballs? I'm trying to relax before heading to bed. After I got home from Indy mom talked me into going to BINGO with her.

My meatballs are done and on warm.....and the apple berry salsa is done and in the fridge.  Now I am finishing up my cinnamon chips, and then I am headed to bed.  I have the car loaded down with tons of clothes.  How much stuff have you got to bring???  I am wondering if I need to empty out the trunk as well!?!?! LOL

I don't have much clothes wise because my mom has taken over everything I can't wear anymore and then I have my pan of cheese cubes, nothing big.

Ok, just wanted to make sure.  I have the entire back seat filled with a huge tote and another huge box.  I will be lucky to be able to see out of the rear window! LOL  I have my directions and everything all printed out as well, so I will call you in the morning when I get close to Wal-mart.  That way you won't have to wait for very long! 

Misty, I am keeping you in my prayers. I would think that they would give you some sort of sedation when they do that. At least I would sure hope so. I think I would be asking the doctor what the biopsy entails and what he is going to do to help you get through it. I pray that God keeps you in the circle of his arms and gives you peace, acceptance and a fast and speedy recovery. I pray that He is also with the doctors and gives them wisdom and knowledge. Keep us posted on what is going on, alright? I am sending you love and hugs.

Explain how nervous you are and ask for sedation.. and take it!!! Make sure there is someone with you to drive you home.. goodness.. they sedate me just to pull a tooth,,, Linda kay
