Laughter is the best medicine, and is something you can administer easily for yourself. It releases all sorts of good hormones into your system. When confronted with a similar situation a couple of years ago, I went looking for the funny programs following my surgery, thinking it would help with the recouperation. Just be careful what you choose--I thought I was going to rupture something one afternoon when I watched The Golden Girls. Frasier was just as hard on the incisions. But taken in small doses (and perhaps your throat isn't so sore after the biospy) a belly laugh helps in the long run.
