I had a liver biopsy that way and it was pretty uneventful. I had an EMG a few weeks ago and they also put a long needle into my neck to measure the electrical impulses throughout my neck and shoulder. It went on forever and the only thing really uncomfortable was the 3-4 inch needle through the bottom of the chin into the tongue. I did not like that at all, especially when they asked me to make sounds and I could feel the stupid needle.

Of course I am praying for you and wishing you the very best.

My gas has been pretty bad, too, but the truck hates the high prices! crazy They tightened up my esophageal sphincter with the Nissen Fundoplication and you know it is a bit too tight now when Susan asks if they can install a blow off valve. She has asked quite a few doctors now. grin

I hope you get a bit of rest and I am sending you gentle thoughts and lots of love!

YBIC,

Ed
