Had the biopsy today.
You know, I really don't like going to hospitals or seeing doctors much. I think its mainly to do with having to sit and wait for ever even though you have an appointment for a specific time.
The other reason is, because in my experience, that I tend come out hurting more than when I went in.
For example, this stupid lump...
I ahd no idea it was there 4 months ago. It hasn't changed at all since then, so I think it's safe to assume that I still wouldn't be feeling it today. Not onyl have I felt like I've wasted time getting run around with no new answers, but I've been gagged and poked several times by fingers and tongue depressors, I've had a camera on a hose shoved in my nose and down towards my throat (one of the most uncomfortable feelings ever), and now I've had the biopsy done - which included numbing the area with novocaine (small pinch) and then I had a piece of it removed and had stitches put in. Now, that process wasn't so bad. The numbing was uncomfortable.
Before I went in today, I couldn't tell this thing was there (unless I actively searched for it) and I didn't feel any pain. Now, I feel lots of pain (mainly when I swallow), I can feel the damn thing (mainly the stitches, I guess) and it feels like there's something at the back of my throat that I can't swallow. Sometimes it makes me want to gag.
It'll probably take at least a week for them to get results. I also have to have another cat scan and an MRI done because the original cat scan was worthless, according to this doctor.
So yeah, i'm not very happy atm.
