Me getting a Biopsy on my leg today!  :yikes:
This is being done as part of a study on aging and physical conditioning called I'm Fit being conducted by Wake Forest University... they have accepted me into the program and I'll post more details later.

What is a biopsy?

A biopsy is the removal of a sample of tissue from the body for examination. The tissue will be examined under a microscope to assist in diagnosis. Therefore, only very small samples are needed.

Sometimes, it's enough just to scrape over an area.

In other cases, for instance, a liver or kidney biopsy, the biopsy is taken using a large hypodermic needle.  :thud:

You better hope that they don't find you too fit or Kay will put you to work.
