The nurse gave me instructions when leaving the hospital. The rules are: no driving, no lifting, no strenuous exercises, no bending over and no straining. Portia and I laughed because I do not do any of those activities anyway. But I must take life easy for a few days plus take a short walk around the house every couple of hours. But no long walks.
They told me to expect discomfort at the site of the biopsy. I will be tired . All those symptoms should be gone after a week. So I am now, taking life easy and resting. The other instructions was to remind me not to make any decisions for a few days because I had been given sedation.
The medical team at the Baptist Hospital was excellent. Competent and pleasant. I was to arrive at 7:00am and we were driving home at 11:15. And the job was done. Now I must recover. And on Thursday I meet with Dr. Sheehan, the Oncologist to map out a plan. Modern medicine is wonderful but I would prefer not to have these fancy procedures. I know they provide valuable information, which is why I have them done. But these procedures are always uncomfortable. Now the liver biopsy is done. Hurrah.
