Liver biopsy

Well folks had my liver biopsy yestderday about 2pm. I was beside myself about it. Not a fan of needles.my GP gave me diazepame 5mg.  Nurse said to me to take another before I went down for the procedure. Well it certainly wasn't pleasant but it was reasonably  quick. After it there was a sense of relief since I'd been dreading having it done.  Felt a weight had been lifted till I remembered the whole reason of having it done. A other hurdle up ahead!! Kept in hospital overnight and possibly and other night tonight. They sorted my pain relief out but I just keep sleeping. Can hardly keep awake more than 10minutes. I'm on morphine 40mg a day. Just can't stay awake. Anyone else feel  the same. Good luck all xx

  • At least you have got through it despite your fears, that's one thing out of the way so i think you deserve a pat on the back as i had read some of your posts prior to it so well done !

     I have never taken morphine but i do think that sleepiness with taking is supposed to be expected. You might also be talking nonsense too while on it. I hope i don't get put on it when i'm in because i swear like a trooper and i am likely to embarrass myself, lol. You would do well to not fight the sleepiness as our bodies sleep to recover so just go with it.

    P.S. - I doubt you will see this because you will be sleeping [[ ]]
