Do you like my little ryhme?? If you don't like talking about sinus cavities, then this is not the post for you. For the rest of you weird "House" fans like me, here is the skinny.... or the down low, or whatever you cool teenagers say nowadays...
I have had a cold/infection for about six weeks now and it is getting very bothersome, or beyond bothersome actually. Finally, after two rounds of different antibiotics, I was back at the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist for another follow-up... Well, I started in the regular chair in a room and they did the usual exam, like sticking their fingers down your throat and gagging you, etc. Then he was doing the exam of my nose (how pleasant) and he said, "hang on, we have a problem". I asked him if he found the button I stuffed up there when I was six-years-old and I guess it wasn't that. They shot this stuff up my nose that numbed my whole nose and throat and soon we were in a different room with a lot of helpers and a camera that they decided to stuff up my nose, way up there, like behind my eyes. They are talking and looking at the screen and agreeing to what they are seeing and I am not seeing anything but tears clouding my vision 'cause they have a camera on a bendy stick stuffed way up my nose. It turns out I have tumors in my sinuses, they are called polyps and they can't figure out how far in my head they go, so I have to get a CT scan on Monday in Kingman and I am a bit nervous!
Good news: polyps aren't canerous!
Bad news: I have to get surgery and not a very fun one!
Good news: Maybe this will stop what is going on with my sinuses...
Bad news: This will probably recur the rest of my life and I will have to go to the office frequently to get my sinues scraped, like the bones in my head are going to get scraped with some sort of instrument.
Good news: It could be worse.... ?
LEGOS IN THE LAUNDRY?!!! CRAZIES IN THE KITCHEN?!!!......WELCOME TO OUR AMAZING LIFE..

Hang in there little sista! I have a lymphoma in my nasal-pharnx - or however you spell it - what it means is "way up in your nose - like behind your eyeballs" LOL! I have to have it removed every now and then and they don't even deaden it anymore - they just go in and do it. So I feel your pain and I will be praying for you - make them deaden you real good! Love - Becci
Karen and I hoped you would have attached some picture from behind your eye balls. I always wanted to see backward from my eyes and see what is there.
Were you awake when they put the camera up your nose?
We shall pray exceedingly for you and your family.

Christa! I have a polyp in my right sinus! I had a cat scan too! Yay! But, they don't have to take mine out unless it ends up being connected to my arthritis...our fates may be intertwined!
you managed to make me laugh really hard about a subject that isn't so funny...your misery:( way to be positive though! Hope the CT scan went/goes well.
My dad has polyps, or did. I know he had some removed, but I think some are still there. He may not be the best one to talk to though, because I think he had a rather extreme case.Not so pleasant. But I'm sure you'll be in good shape since they found them so early. Best of luck.
