If it's Wednesday, it must be Needle Biopsy day (again)...

Another day winds down. Tracy had another biopsy today - this time to take samples from other lymph nodes which had been identified during last week's MRI as being "agitated". It is somewhat funny (to me, being an IT guy) that the concept of an "agitated lymph node" would make for a great XKCD frame (http://www.xkcd.com/). If you're not an XKCD frequenter, you should be.. I did manage to get a somewhat clear pic of Tracy (in her purple johnny) and me waiting for Dr. Murphy to come whisk her to the exam room.

Even though today involved small needles concealed within large needles, ultrasound, and yet more lidocaine, it all went fairly smoothly (for me anyway). Another small nip under her arm, another bandaide, and another ice pack.

All I had to do was wait. I had a good wireless connection and both notebooks were running well (work PC, and my PC). I did get several strange looks, though, when folks would pop in and check in - seeing me lounging on a couch, surrounded by two notebook PCs, several power bricks, and two BlackBerrys.

I'll let Tracy fill you in more later on (we have a date for surgery now), but she's sleeping off the "relaxation" meds she took earlier this morning and probably won't get to it until later. Oh - and I have a rather nasty paper cut on my thumb from handling some of the paperwork.
