Furious? I passed furious hours ago.
They missed.
The biopsy team managed to not get any usable lymphatic tissue. This was a CT-guided procedure, remember, the doctor was working with imagery that was less than ten minutes old and they missed everything.
Which means we need to reschedule after the new year to do it again. Do I need to mention that when dealing with these kinds of issues, time is of the essence? The entire procedure was a frakking waste of time and effort.
Now I need to contact my primary care doctor and let him know that until this is resolved, I'm staying on disability.
I'm in pain, can't breathe, I'm constantly tired and they missed.

SAN DIEGO -- There comes a time when it's not about bad breaks, bad moments, bad calls and bad split-second decisions any more.
For the 49ers, after Thursday's 34-7 smashup loss to the Chargers, it is now finally and resoundingly just about being a bad team.
A bad team, that's what they are in 2010, here at the tail end of Mike Singletary's reign of errors.
And there is no escape from it. Poorly coached, confused, mistake-prone, dazed and losing faith as swiftly as they're losing games.
You saw it. The 49ers experienced it. They fell to 5-9, guaranteeing a losing season, but it's not even about the record.
It's about who they are, the plays they can't make, the inch they can't gain, and the plummet they cannot stop.
"After that game, right now "... you walk away not feeling good," quarterback Alex Smith said.
"But that's the ups and downs of the NFL. The teams that can handle the ups and downs are the ones that go to the playoffs."
The 49ers, though, have had far too many downs and not nearly enough ups to qualify them for realistic postseason consideration.
After a performance like this -- their worst loss of the season -- the playoff chase is meaningless, even if the 49ers remain alive in the dreadful NFC West.
They won't make the playoffs. It's not about what's mathematically possible, it's about the ability to put together successful plays "... or fail to do so.
In this game it came down to three plays in the second quarter, with San Diego ahead only 7-0, and three 49ers failures:
On fourth-and-goal from inside the 1 the 49ers couldn't convert when Anthony Dixon was caught behind the line of scrimmage by linebacker Brandon Siler, who knifed through the left side of the 49ers' line.
Five plays later, Justin Smith unintentionally jostled an official, earning an ejection.
And, on the very next play, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers hit a wide-open Kory Sperry with a 35-yard pass to set up San Diego's next score, as the momentum turned for good.
That was that. The Chargers are good, and took it from there. The 49ers are bad. And there was no chance the 49ers could survive that.
"We've been through a lot as a team," Singletary said. "When you have the opportunity to step up, I really look for our team, in spite of the setbacks to really take a step forward.
"Obviously, we did not. We continued to stumble. But now we just have to go back and regroup. It's a shame we missed the opportunity tonight. Great opportunity. Right there."
There are many troubling things about the Singletary 49ers, of course. Almost too many to count at this point.
The general theme, however, is quite simple: Sloppiness throughout the roster, the coaching staff and the entire franchise.
The 49ers don't play clean football. Maybe they can simply overwhelm the terrible teams with their talent -- as they did recently against Arizona and Seattle.
On Thursday, they were sloppy when Nate Clements gave up yet another big play, this time on a 58-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Jackson.
The 49ers were sloppy when they tried to protect Alex Smith, allowing the Chargers to collect six sacks and put up continuous pressure.
The 49ers were sloppy at quarterback, again, this time with Alex Smith winging passes erratically enough that Singletary conceded he considered switching (back) to Troy Smith in the second half.
"It wasn't just Alex," Singletary said. "If it was just Alex, then it would've been easier to try and figure out, let's make a decision and do this or that. But it wasn't just him."
The 49ers were sloppy on special teams, when Moran Norris' face-mask penalty wiped out Ted Ginn's potential kickoff return for a touchdown to open the third quarter.
The 49ers were sloppy when linebacker Ahmad Brooks dropped a surefire interception late in the second quarter, deep in San Diego territory, with the score still only 10-0.
The 49ers were sloppy as they've been all season, starting in Week 1 against Seattle and going through almost every game of this season.
Re: perhaps this will ease your pain...cont
"This team has had its highs and lows," Singletary said. "But if we are fortunate enough to go to the playoffs, I believe that we deserve to go."
They will not be so fortunate. They will not make the playoffs. They're not good enough to win their last two, because they're a bad team, playing badly, in a season of near-complete badness.

The excess tubing didn't get removed until 15 years later. My gyno opened me up to do my hysterectomy, saw the tubing float by amid the excess fluid in my belly, plucked out the tubing with forceps, and went on with the procedure.

That is bullshit of the first degree. Some doctors need their licenses examined.
Sorry you have to a)remain unwell, and 2) have to go through this again.
*hugs*
