Re: biopsy adventure - Tess

[Guest guest]

Tess...I think that you are the only person I know

that could describe your appointment without totally

grossing everyone out and even though I know it wasn't

funny at the time, you made it seem so. I love your

sense of humor and wish I had your descriptive skills.

I'm sorry that you have to do a repeat...oh,

joy...and I hope that during the next one you won't

have to be so much of an contortionist...even though

those skills could probably look good on your resume.

Hang in there. Are you feeling alright now? Iris
