Hi Boyd! Happy to hear that it is benign. Bedside manner and honesty are important to me also. Hopefully, it was a misunderstanding because it's not right to scare a patient into doing a procedure by misinforming him/her. Ms. Chevy is right about getting the biopsy-if you didn't, you would be left wondering and would not have a peace of mind.

Lover - such beautiful photos. I am sure you have a much finer brain and attention span than mine are now. I am positively STOOOPID in how I fail to make connections, remember names etc etc since the oestregen deprivation. So I used to think I was smart? Now I find it was just oestregen!
Was that photo of you and DD in Italy taken in Florence?
Boyd that is such good news that your test results were begnign.

Anyone know how much swelling is normal after a stereotactic biopsy? I had to put an ace bandage around my chest so I don't have sharp pain that makes me scream every time I breathe and move, and stop the sensation of something in my chest moving. Not sure if a rib is out of place or what, I know my left harm is achey and my hand tingles a lot and is kinda stiff. Anyone have any suggestions? I have to get feeling better the dishes and laundry need done and I need to make a cake for my husband today is his birthday. Thanks ladies any suggestions help.
Also around my nipple is bruised, it feels like it's leaking and it itches like crazy, my armpit is swollen more than usual also and itches but it always itches

good morning all its about 5:30 and I am wide awake. Woke up about an hour ago in horrible back pain. Trying to distract my brain from the pain signal. Anyone awake and ready to talk about some positive
Hootie hoo

The last time my back was killing me, was because I must have really strained my butt... the piraformus muscle, and the sciatic nerve... Had to finally go to ER for the pain... They gave me oxycodone... and a 350mg Tylenol.... It helped, but so did heat.
You must have pulled something?

Boyd- I had swelling and pain after all my biopsies, including the kind you had. My suggestion for the swelling is to put a towel and an ice pack (or plastic bag with ice cubes) to help. Bruising is common to with any sort of biopsy or breast surgery, but that will go away relatively quickly.
Hoping you are feeling better soon.

good morning. Feeling somewhat better today. Last night was super hard in pain. I have some really strong pain meds but they just wouldn't get on top of it. Thur I ran many errands and all that riding in a car and walking put me flat out yesterday. Boo. Up walking around today. Being still and stiff only aggregated it more.

oh yea. Also been passing time with my adult coloring books. I had no idea that this would entertain me so much. Now gotta make room on fridge for moms coloring. Lol. Ds's won't color with me but they like to laugh at me about it. I don't mind. They are laughing and I am upright. I'll take it for today.

She hooted to see if anyone was awake, then went back to sleep. Ms. Chevy was probably sitting there in front of her computer tapping her fingers waiting for you to come back. She is probably napping now. Hah!
Well Miss Patty, I was going to ask what you did the day before to put you flat on your back again. I am glad to hear you found some relief. Take it easy my dear. How is trip planning coming along?

Boyd, I was told to ice the biopsy area to keep the swelling down. I had ultrasound guided core needle biopsy. Crazy me went and played badminton the next day because I needed to get rid of my nervous energy. Got a hematoma from that( I am right handed and biopsy was done on left side).

wow Patty! Yours are so intricate! My unfinished purple cow.
But it helps when I'm feeling stressed.0 -

Coloring helps with stress? You both inspire me to take up coloring now!
Eeyore, the last time I climbed a tree was maybe 35+ years ago. Fell down and got the wind knocked out of my lungs too many times. Last I checked I am only one chromosome away from being a monkey. Hah! Yes, I was born in the year of the Monkey. My nickname given by dad was Monkey because I could not sit still as a kid.

Feline, yes, that was in Florence, Italy. Many beautiful churches there. The picture was taken on the side of the Santa Maria del Fiore. I love the countryside of Italy though...more serene and less tourists.

spookie. Very pretty. Thanks for sharing your purple cow. Paper looks huge is it on a easel ?
Chelle. Glad to know I am not coloring alone
Loverly. - yes it is a major stress reducer for me. I can literally pass hours doing this. I'll lookup and think where did my morning go?? Ohwell I have all-day to get chores done since I do not work. Still working on finding that balance of getting out and having fun and not overdoing it so I'll be out the rest of the weekend. Hmm. Have def decided to wait til the weekend after valentines to celebrate. Ds1 has school dance that Friday and ds2 has s soapbox derby race at church n that Sunday night. Iam sure the guy we will have to stay here while we are gone ( dss dont want the word babysitter to be used ) would take both boys to their events, but I WANT to do it. Making memories.
Hootie hoo

no, very small book. Bought it on a whim, wasn't sure I'd like it. Got a small pencil set, didn't want to have a lot invested if I didn't like it. It does help me with stress. Like Patty, I get involved, and forget my problems for a while.

Loverly! That is right! I kept waiting for Peppermint to come back, and NOTHING! I was there talking to myself! Hah! Then she finally wakes up and posts pictures! PICTURES of her handi-work! She probably started coloring and forgot all about me sitting there!
Then Spookie is copying Peppermint! They are in cahoots together!
