Hi Bonnie,
well you were right! it wasn't that bad! ...i mean i don't want to run down there and do it again...but i didn't faint or get sqweemish or anything...the anesthetic needles (2) kinda stung..and could feel the stuff entering..and then i could feel the biopsy needle kind of a pushing pressure..and a loud click when it snipped off the piece of liver...but the vallium kept me cool !!! and the staff there were so so nice , i couldn't believe it...went back to recovery room and fell asleep...just a little pain after..like i got punched in the gut..they gave me motrin iv, and am taking some tylenol...no shoulder pain..feel fine now!!!
now it is the waiting game, to find out what's in there...to tell you the truth, i am nervous about that. i keep thinking of the WHAT IF's but i will just keep busy as i can.. i know i have to leave it in Gods hands, I prayed and now it is up to Him...this weekend we are going to see Huey Lewis and The News!!! a friend got backstage passes!!! iv'e never gone backstage at a concert b4...we will get to meet him and band!!!..
thanks for your support Bonnie! how are you today?
I read about the news (cure) on your other comment..was that for real , did you find out?

Hi Bonnie,

my hep doc really didn't say anything that i didn't already read here and other places.....all the usual stuff about HC...the basic facts. , go get the biopsy.and we'll see where you are at...and that was it really ..he is like a very serious man...like a walking brain...and an overworked man...he didn't look too good to tell the truth...i think he has some illness too...i think he should get a biopsie!! he he he ...(only kidding)well not really)
so i'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!
thanks for thinking of me...

Hi..How are you doing today...Isnt tomorrow your biopsy? Good Luck you will be fine. Im at work now just wanted to touch base with you and see if you were holding up ok. Im just okay today myself.......
Take a pill and all we can do is try not to worry. I know who's talking about worry the past few weeks I did more worrying than in my entire life. All we can do is try.
And you have a great husband on your side!!!
You didnt really mention what the doc had to say......

illo is right.....But all the years my alts were high it had no bearing on the way you feel.
Bonnie's right, but to answer your question, it's always better to be a 'little' above normal than a whole lot! :)
Best of Luck to you!
Best of Luck to you!
the only way you can tell if there is damage tothe liver is having a biopsy.
