I had the biopsy on my neck this afternoon. No problem...much worse in the anticipation than in the fact. It was a very big needle, but only three tiny holes. It didn't really hurt at all.
First, they bring out the machete, which is just to open the package for the needle because the needle is so frickin' large that it's hermetically sealed in a heavy duty plastic bag that will last until the next stone age (because time is a cycle especially if you don't recycle). Then, they don these strange yellow reflector suits that make the operating room lights give off startling blasts of energy every time a tech turns around, its like being abducted by aliens (not that I would know). Then, they take this giant needle, that I would rather call a shovel, yeah, cuz that's what it is... a silver shovel with a sharp point...
You get the picture. Your story is much understated, I'm sure.
Oh Jess, you are just too modest. For you, they'd have to bring one of those drilling rigs they use in the coal mines. You know you are very thick skinned. (As opposed to me--thick headed:))

Yes, Meg, you are right. They don't call me an elephant for nothing!!
I always thought it was because you had such a good memory, Petrus.

PS Sorry to interrupt Meg and your conversation.
