I had a stereotactic biopsy done on my right breast. It was a highly unpleasant experience because of the depth and the fact that the doctor didn't wait long enough for the lidocaine to take effect. But it made me wonder...what if it had been the left side where my ICD is? Could it have been done? Would it have hurt more? What happens if the needle hits a lead?

Vegetable Broth
It's a rainy day and I need to clean out the pantry so I'm making vegetable broth. I've also been throwing vegetable scraps and peelings into a container in the freezer so I throw those in, too. I plan to use some of the broth in a vegan shepherd's pie recipe I found today. I'll freeze the rest for use in soups and stews later.
Being efficient and thrifty makes me happy. Just like getting a good report from the EP cardio yesterday--3.11 volts left on my ICD battery so it should last a good bit longer. I am not looking forward to the surgery to replace the battery because I keloid. My scar looks horrible and only gets worse every time they open me up. So here's to efficient battery usage!
