Liver biopsy

I was due to have a liver biopsy this morning, got all prepped and procedure was started but the doctor could not get to the site of the lesion. He was full of apology and said he could not proceed as the area was full of gas and bubbles (whatever that means). I have to go back on Monday for them to have another go. Fingers crossed they can do this a second time.

That’s just horrible Mick, to actually get there and have it started only to stop and have to go again, So frustrating. I hope it goes smoothly on Monday and you get the most experienced herpetologist doing the biopsy.
