Red face It's me I back !
Everything went great, they had to do two sites after all, not enough muscle in my lower leg, for multiple pieces. Sural nerve was done still in the lower leg, Muscle was done upper leg.
Cipro was chosen for my antibioic, I hope I do ok on that, hubby is picking it up after work. Will be two weeks for results, biopsies had to be sent to Childrens Hospital, for there specialized machinery to analyze this stuff.
I am still high, & my muscle biopsy painful right away, so I am in for a night of hell I believe, the nerve biopsy area, is numb down through my heal area, no feeling. I will keep you posted, how I progress, in case any of you need to have this done. But went so smooth, slept through the whole thing ! No MG effects ! I am so happy !

Default So glad
I'm so happy to hear thing went smoothly for you. Just remember to keep the muscle biopsy site iced, it will help so much with the pain. Even with pain Tylenol (which did help) ice was the only thing that really took the pain away. Just rest it will get better really soon, just a few days. I hope the recovery goes as smooth as the procedure did. Sorry they had to do multiple muscles to get enough sample though. Did they give you anything for pain?

Have some good rest.

Hey Mary,

I am so happy to hear it's over and you slept through it! I hope you don't have much pain when the anesthetic wears off and you get a good nights sleep. Just get lots of rest and don't do anything. How long did the Dr. say it will take to heal? Let us know how things are going when you feel up to it. Take care.

Big hugs,
Pat
