Results of the Head MRI: I do have a brain.
Also: There is nothing going on there.
Maybe I couldda phrased that better. There is nothing wrong with my brain. (My mom had me tested. - Sheldon.)
Yesterday I met with the surgeon about the thyroid tests. He used the word carcinoma. Yeah, that's right. Cancer. So now I'm going to have surgery. Oh, goody.
At this point my main concern is - How much is all this going to cost?? I have insurance, but still. Just got another bill today for $78 bucks. Being sick sucks.
Almost no one dies from thyroid cancer. They don't even want to call it cancer anymore. I saw that story before I went to see the surgeon, so I guess that helped.
I was hoping to get this taken care of before school started, but no deal. Surgery date is August 29. That means I get a whole month to wait. Oh, goody.
Do they think that has anything to do with your headaches? Is someone coming down to help you when you have your surgery? Do you get to suck on lemon drops? I heard that once.
ReplyDeleteI told Mom and Dad not to come - It is right as school starts, so I'll already be crazy, and I don't want to have to clean for them or worry about them. My friend Linda will take me to the hospital and pick me up the next day.
DeleteSilly TweedleDee. You wouldn't have to clean for Mom and Dad. Still, I wish I could help.
DeleteThe writer of one of my favorite blogs had Thyroid cancer. She's pretty funny if you're interested in hearing her tale: http://www.camppatton.com/search/label/thyroid%20cance
