I'm sorry you're in between that rock and hard place! I wish there were a better answer.

Please let us know how it goes.

(((Oakleaf))) -- you'll be in my thoughts tomorrow. There's nothing to be afraid of until you know for sure if there is something to be afraid of. I'm sorry the biopsy has to be so invasive.

Oakleaf, I noticed you've posted today but you haven't posted on this thread. You must have had the procedure already? How did it go - Any other thoughts or feelings after the fact - or the same? When will you get results?

I'm home. (my earlier post this a.m. was before I left home) The Lidocaine is worn off. It's sore, but not awful. They had to go in through two different incisions (because my breasts are small). I didn't really need to see them cleaning the blood up off the floor afterward.

I held it together through the procedure. They let me keep my iPod on, which I'd loaded up with Steven Halpern music, and that helped a lot. But as soon as they let me out of the clamp, I just started bawling. Startled the techs, I think. Well, too bad for them.

Really, the only thing my self-education hadn't prepared me for physically was the stress on my spine (hyperextended low back and severely twisted neck, clamped into that position for an hour and a half). Wish I could do Pilates right now to ease some of that out, but I don't want to do quite that much arm movement just yet.

The techs wanted to give me all kinds of activity restrictions (the surgeon had told me I could go back to teaching high impact aerobics tomorrow, which I didn't believe for a minute ) - I'll split the difference I think. I'm still planning to ride Wednesday evening barring any problems.

I should have the results in 2-3 days. I'll let you all know. Thanks for asking.

Hope you're feeling much better soon.

What a rough day! Be good to yourself.

Since you're not feeling up to Pilates, maybe a little hot/cold therapy, depending on which you think will make you more comfortable? Just thinking maybe there are some more passive-type things you can do to take care of those muscles.
