I love Birthdays.

as you can see, i have done an incredible job at keeping up with blogging... oh, wait....
anyway, this past wednesday i had my liver biopsy, if i don't have to repeat it (story to follow) i will get the results in about a week and a half.
so, story. my mom calls it "the law of kelly" that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. (haha, thanks mom) anyway, for a liver biopsy you are sedated, but not asleep. same as when i had my kidney biopsy- local anesthetic and some anti anxiety drugs and sedatives- because i had to be awake to hold my breath so they wouldn't miss. with my kidney biopsy i ended up in the hospital a week because of complications. but i had a nice roomie- so it wasn't so bad.
ANYWAY- down in the room where they were doing the liver biopsy.... the sedative hadn't kicked in- nor had the local anesthetic- and i had no warning when they stuck the needle in... so i jumped, and immediately began bleeding somewhat profusely. the doctor was pissed. she barely got any liver, and so rather then 3 samples she got only a little one. oops. so she said she couldn't go back in for more- hopefully that was enough. (yes, hopefully, indeed.)
THEN- (my poor husband) back in recovery my bp started dropping (and I was sooo out of it from the sedatives) and suddenly doctors and nurses are in the room and they literally ran me down to get a CT to see if I was bleeding. (nothing major, ptl.) Long story short, there was no lack of drama.
So I got to stay with my bff, Roxanne for a few days to recover. I also had an amazing birthday yesterday. Even though I  was technically not supposed to do anything, we went book shopping and to Starbucks. A toasted coconut frap and a few books was just what my birthday needed. Then we had yummy mushroom and artichoke lasagna for my birthday dinner. Seriously delish.
Anyway- this post may not make sense because I'm still on painkillers. Bear with me please. :)
