Went for the biopsy today. It was pretty strange. I had to hold my arms over my head while a young doctor lubed up my breast and did a reasonable amount of groping. Then he used this hollow needle that he shot into my breast pretty much like a staple gun, or getting your ears pierced. Over and over. It was not erotic at all - perhaps if he hadn't used anesthetic. Oh, just joking.

Now I'm sitting in bed with ice on my breast, listening to Flogging Molly. Also not erotic, despite the name, but a good sound. I haven't told my kids about any of this, or my mom either. I think this procedure is innocuous enough that I can disguise any discomfort today and tomorrow, and I should have results by the middle of next week. Probably there will be nothing to tell them.
