Subject:  MED: Thyroid Biospy Thanks


Dear List:

Well I had my thyroid biopsied today and I want to thank you all for your
support and information. I went in armed with my Walkman and guided
relaxation tape and determined to convince them to do without the lidocaine.
They confiscated my Walkman and cheerfully insisted on the lidocaine anyway,
but heck, it's over and I'll have the results on Thursday.

Here's my last question on this topic: Do they really know best what my pain
tolerance is? I have dental work done without Novocain and bore two
children without drugs, would this really have been any worse than either of
those? Really, they thought I was nuts to even suggest it. They (ahem)
laughed at me. The surgeon walked in and said, "So this is the young lady
with the death wish?"

Anyway it's done and I plan to be a big baby about it for at least another
20 minutes. I don't get to do too much whining - my kids do it all for me.

Best to all,

Laura
