Well, this afternoon is the doctor's appointment. He will decide if medication or surgery is the next option. My sinuses and nasal cavities are loaded with polyps that make breathing rather difficult at times. In the past appointments, he has come short of dropping the 'C' word, but said he is concerned that they haven't shrunk with the current meds and is contemplating a biopsy or flat out removing them completely and finding out what they are. I keep thinking to myself, "Damn it. I'm only 37. I still have a kid to raise." I am sure it is nothing, but those thoughts keep lurking in the back of my mind. Good thing I work 12-13 hours a day to keep my mind of off it. I'll let you guys know tomorrow after the appointment. I hope it's nothing. I don't want to have to tell my daughter that it is something bad. He will see me through whatever I am to face. Thanks for listening. o No:
Put your faith in God, James 5 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. +++
My brother in law just had a bunch of polyps removed from his sinuses. Came out just fine-I'm sure you will too. He gets them every 10 years. Todd
Hope for the best Hi there Greg, I don't know what to say. I hope everythig turns out o.k. for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts(as jumbled as they are:grin: ). Good luck!!:TU:
Your in my prayers buddy. Let us all know how everything turns out....................:TU: later.............................
Thanks everybody! Well, the doctor wants to consult with another one and schedule a CT scan sometime next week to figure out the extent of the polyps, so I still don't know what is up (my nose ) I will know next week after the CT scan, but there was no shrinkage from the meds I have been on. It is looking more and more like I will be going under the knife. I also have a deviated septum that they are going to take care of if it comes to surgery as well as a large lump on my tongue. Losing more parts of me than I ever thought I would. I'll post next week with an update. Thanks for all the concern. You guys rock!!!!:TU:
Does that mean you will be faster then?It usually helps with your car.Maybe you will be a tenth faster.:laugh: Sometimes the time before you find out whats wrong with you it is worse than the actual problem.I am the type that if I have to get surgery or there is something wrong with me,I always fear the worst then it usually isn't so bad after all. Hope everything goes well for you. Pat:TU:
I talked to a friend of mine, and he said he will be there to keep an eye on you. Your in our prayers here. Mike
