I have been assured I will be completely knocked out for it and I insisted upon that, since the needle they will use probably looks more like a harpoon.
My nurse practitioner looked very sad and said she was sorry for the bad news. She hugged me and said she hoped I can still enjoy Christmas. I actually didn't have much of a reaction to the news. Maybe I am just numb, or it wasn't a shock, or maybe I was even expecting something along the lines of what I got today. At least I can have a beer on Christmas and New Years Eve now.

Sorry about the news Ed. It's a hell of a battle your fighting and there are always set backs but I can tell you're a warrior and yes get knocked out for the liver biopsy, I was talked into bone marrow and liver biopsy's without general anesthetic and after the fact I was pissed. Enjoy your Christmas and New Years brew and you are in my prayers.
