My little carve-a-small-chunk-out-of-the-rectum procedure went swimmingly. The only pain I had was with the application of the anesthetic - it burned like hell. In fact, I said to the doc, "Ow! Weren't you going to numb it before you cut." He responded that's what he was doing. Oh.
After that, it was smooth sailing and I didn't feel a thing. Once the anesthetic wore off, things became a tad uncomfortable. But because the biopsy was so small, the area of intense pain was minute. So it was not a big deal. However, if the biopsy had been much bigger, the whole pain thing would have been another thing entirely.
After a few hours of walking gingerly, I'm now walking normally. The sixteen ounce IPA helped a great deal with that! The only issue now is I'm still bleeding. So no bath tonight.
The biopsy result should be back within ten days to two weeks.
