The biopsy today went well. Dr. Yip himself came to get us, 45 minutes early! Usually we have a short consult with Stephanie first, but Dr. Yip said since he was there and could see that we were checked in that we would go ahead and start early.

He didn't anticipate any problems and actually gave us some good news. If there is no rejection and there are no problems with the bloodwork, this is the last neck biopsy he will have. He will go to yearly in May instead of every 6 months. He actually told us that we would now be able to put health issues on the back burner and be able to plan fun things to do without worrying about making a trip here every 3 months!

The trip down was uneventful, but tiring. It's also gotten cold here, not just in the Midwest. It's 12 at home and it's already in the upper 30s here. Yesterday when we got here it was 78, it was 66 this morning and then the wind and rain arrived. It's supposed to be about 20 in the morning. But, we have warmer clothes to wear home so we'll be fine.

We haven't done anything since the biopsy but veg out in our hotel room. We've been to get something to eat and we're waiting for bedtime. A program I've been interested in on television is showing it's season finale tonight. It won't come on until 9 here and it's a 2 hour program tonight. I don't know if I'll make it through it. I may have to watch it on hulu later! But, we don't have to get up and leave early in the morning. We're going to wait until after rush hour. That will still get us in rather early so we'll be able to rest up for the tough drive on Wednesday.

Since we don't have the biopsy results yet, I'll update again tomorrow after we arrive at the hotel. We should hear something tomorrow afternoon.

Stay warm!
