Well, I was finally able to get my MRI done today. I didn't expect to hear from my doctor so soon, but he called just a few minutes ago and told me the results. And guess what? They found something. Could be a cyst. Could be a tumor. So he wants me to see an endocrinologist. The guy he told me to call isn't taking new patients until the first of the year, so I had to go with someone else in the practice, but he doesn't have an opening until the end of August.
He mentioned the possibility of having to undergo brain surgery. No biggie. My head is already shaved. Plus, I already have that huge-ass scar running from the top of my forehead all the way to the back from when I was in a car wreck over 30 years ago. So what's one more scar, right?
But, it's got me thinking I need to get that book written maybe sooner rather than later, cause you know, anything can happen when you go under the knife. Especially when they have to cut on the old noodle.
Well, good luck with that. Let's just hope it's a cyst and not a tumor.

ReplyDeleteThe Freeque's response is mine, but he stole it before I could get to it. Here's hoping for the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. I appreciate the comments. Something like this really puts things in perspective. And aside from the writing, I'm thinking about all the great books I have yet to read. I really need to get on the ball!

ReplyDeleteTake it a step at a time. It's not bad news until you find out it's malignant, and then it's news you just have to deal with. Wishing you the best, man.
