My Kidney Biopsy
After the doctors not being able to perform the operation on Friday due to blood clotting problems and my blood pressure still being too high, I had my kidney biopsy today. They had to give me an IV that stimulated my platelits to help my blood clot. It started out as a fun experience. I was awake for the whole thing and they did it with this huge needle that was about a foot long and it was thick. The numbing shot kind of hurt as well. They said, "Now this is going to feel a bit like a bee sting..." TO MY KIDNEY! However, the only part that really sucked was the 6 hour waiting period afterwards. Its one thing to lay on a bed for 6 hours, but it really sucks when you aren't suppose to move your upper torso. I was dead tired but I was so stiff and uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep. The laying still for 6 hours was practically unbarable. Please, when I get old, if I just have to lay in a hospital bed forever, kill me. Just put the pillow over my face and push as hard as you can.
