It's almost 5:00am, and I can not sleep a wink. I am not looking forward to today. I feel like a little kid that is scared to go to the doctor because you know you are getting a shot.
I'm not a big fan of needles AT ALL. I can be pretty brave for an IV or a blood draw. They don't normally last very long. But when we are talking about sticking needles deep inside your body....well, that's like a scene out of a horror movie for me. Makes me break into a cold sweat. I won't even mention that the part of my body that they will be sticking the needles into feels like it has been kicked by a mule(on a good day when the drugs are working!)
Let's add all of that to the fact that before they do all of that they are going to stick me inside a little tube for a decent period of time to take pictures of my insides(MRI). The entire unplesantness of the biopsy just makes all of this other stuff SO much worse.
I know I will live and get through this. I know that there will be some sedation involved in all of this, so I'm sure that will help. I'm normally pretty darn tough, but needles turn me into a total two year old. I might just have a good panic attack today. Yikes!
