I had my CT scan and I don't have a brain tumor but I do have a brain, which is good. I was then sent to an Ear Nose and Throat guy and they did an endiscopy and I have nasal polyps in the cavity near my eye. It was impacted with an infection which is still causing vision problems so they are putting me on another regimine of antibiotics and decongestants. That should work, but if the polyps don't shrink we have steriods and laser surgery. Laser surgery will get rid of the polyps but there is no guarentee that they won't come back and I will lose my sense of smell.

On top of it all, on my way from the hospital to the nose clinic, I lost my muffler on the highway.

And all this before 10am. What a day.

HLL, that's somewhat promising. We'll keep praying for the antibiotics to clear up the problem.

DS - as for the pic of Mary Carey .... MOOOOO!

Thanks for the update. No tumor is excellent news! You're still in my prayers for a full and speedy recovery.

Good news, and good luck with the new regimin.

Talk to your tax dude, or dudette, about the new government plan to subsidize the SUV market with tax-advantaged ownership of a new Cadillac Escalade, or any other rig with 6000lb. GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight).

You deserve it.

It must be a relief to know your brain is actually there!;)

We'll keep praying that the antibiotics do the trick and you won't require any additional, radical treatment.

Sorry to hear your muffler bailed on you.:(

HLL, relieved to hear there's no brain tumor. Was never a doubt about the brain. So is it swelling that's putting pressure on the optic nerve itself or on the periorbital area? Surely lasering out the nasal polyps won't take all of your ability to smell will it? That would be a major bummer. I do hope this latest round of drugs knocks out the infection.

Your muffler fell off? Ooohhh, that takes some doing. Maybe it's time for a new car? (I'm thinking one of those cute little two-seater BMW's might be nice.)
