Biopsy time

 So, Ben is scheduled for his normal biopsy Dec 28 (getting it in right before the New Year to take advantage of our deductible, yay!) But, they have a new practice where you have to have a covid test 72 hours before the biopsy. Well, that puts us at Christmas and no one is open Christmas. So they said we could do it on that Saturday. Whew! The last thing we want to do is torture him on Christmas. The other thing is they have new restrictions in due to both covid AND fly. Only one parent per child. O this is a conundrum. I mean, one of us would've had to stay with Klara and Abby anyways since they'll be home for Christmas break. And one of us will have to go with Ben. Traditionally I have been the one going with Ben to every biopsy. But, Joe usually joins us for part of it. This year, thats not possible, because covid. I hate this! I want us to both be there. I am thinking of just having Joe go. But on the other hand, I am pretty superstitions. I always bring the same bag, with the same items in it, and I always go, and he has never had rejection yet (knock on wood). And my fear is if I don't do these things, he will have rejection. I know, silly thoughts. But, that is what is in the back of my anxiety riddled mind. I should just get it over with and tell Joe to take him nd whatever happens happens and we will deal with it. But, its really hard for me to let go of those superstitions as they help me not be so anxious. Stupid covid! One thing I am glad is, he will not miss any school for it. His original date was Jan 4. I asked them to move it back because that was his first day back after winter break. Which was fine. So, here's hoping for no illnesses or anything before Dec 28. Which hopefully will be easy since he is online schooling!
