the_rckI haven't slept well the last two nights. I don't expect I'm going to until after the biopsy, after the results come in. Crappy sleep is one of the side effects of anxiety for me. I had been thinking to get off the halcion for the summer, but I don't think that the next ten days are going to be the right time for it.
The biopsy will be on our 25th wedding anniversary. That was the earliest they could get me in, given that I took naproxen for cramps Thursday morning.
I had to send my primary care doctor an email to ask what to do for iron supplements since Women's 1-a-Day contains vitamin E. They won't do the biopsy unless I've been off of that for a certain amount of time. We bought what my doctor recommended. Scott got two bottles because it was buy one get one free, and I wish he hadn't. I don't know that the damned things will go bad, but I'm very much hoping not to need more than two weeks worth of them. 180 is a hell of a lot more than 14.
I'm not sure how much I trust the 'probably just cysts' thing. Cysts happen, definitely, but having had one tumor, I'm less reassured by hearing that it's probably nothing.
Mainly, I'm trying to do contingency planning for July and August in case this is something that needs more than a biopsy. I'm due to (finally! After months) start PT for my neck, right shoulder, and left elbow three days after the biopsy, and I really desperately need that. I'm focusing on that rather than anything bigger.
