i'm a little anxious...Friday AM I have to have surgery for this sinus infection that I've had for months, maybe even years. I had a ct scan last week, and it turns out part of what they've thought was an infection on xrays is a tumor or cyst that shows up on a ct scan I had done in ----get this----1993. I am rather irritated that the specialist who ordered the ct scan back then didnt follow up on it. I never heard one single word. I remember wondering about it, but I figured if they didnt call you, results were normal. I should have followed up, but S was a baby and I was busy so dismissed it. sheesh. That specialist no longer practices here, I wonder why? Current specialist believes it is not malignant as there is not evidence of bone erosion on the current ct scan, but it still makes me a little anxious. However, I vary between thinking i am one tough cookie to have lived with this for so long, and being irritated that it didnt get taken care of sooner, and looking forward to not having the constant head aches and ear aches and even tooth aches on that side of my head, and then worrying about "how bad will it hurt"
Hmmmm, Ellie, what is your take on it, is this a real painful thing post op? it's a "bilateral nasal endoscopy w/sinus surgery as indicated & possible septoplasty". It's anticipated to only take an hour.
maybe I'll really be hot if I can get rid of this constant darn infection.
