One of These Days, I'll Get a Biopsy

March 19th, 2007

I pulled out the card that the surgeon's nurse gave me and rang her up this morning to find out what's up with the confirmation call I received for a Wednesday appointment. Now, she gave me her number when I had the almost-biopsy last Wednesday. She said to call if I had any questions.

What she neglected to say was that she was about to go on vacation...for a full month! Her voicemail let me know not to leave a message.

I called oncology and left a message for whoever was filling in for her. My buddy nurse saw my name and called me back to find out what's up. She said she'll see my surgeon today and will find out if she's drawn up orders yet. So, maybe I won't have to wait a month to find out when my surgical biopsy will be?

I don't suppose I can hold out hope that the surgeon's assistant mentioned to the surgeon that I can't have MAC (monitored anesthesia care)? Nah, didn't thinks so.
