An end in sight...yay!

From Thursday, April 17, 2008

Ok, went to my fourth doc, second specialist today. Wooooooo. This one is an ear, nose, throat specialist. I explain my history from Feb, my history before that, etc. He looks at my CT scan and points out that I have tiny nasal passages. Basically my sinuses can't drain properly. He said I also have inflamed turbinates and a deviated septum (knew the last part).

So he gives me a couple of options. The most aggressive and likely to resolve the issue is balloon sinuplasty. It's minimally invasive surgery that opens the nasal passage ways by pushing the bone out of the way by inflating a balloon in again the bone. He's also going to fix the turbinate thing...not going to describe that cause it was gross and he may or may not fix the deviated septum, I guess he'll decide while he's in there. mmmm. So that's what we're doing. Unfortunately he doesn't have anything open 'til May 15. :/ And that's the week before my birthday. Boooo. Oh well. C'est la vie.

This should resolve the migraines and the sinus infections though...sweet deal. :*) Woot! And then I can go back to work and no more cabin fever.
