| I probably shouldnt be putting this on the forums, but I figured its the best way to let everybody know whats going on.
I've been having intense headaches constantly for the last two weeks. I had a CT scan to find out whats been causing them on Thursday of last week. I just got word from my Dr. today saying what he found.
I have more than one polyp in my sinuses causing inflammation. They will have to surgically remove them. I should have surgery within a week. I will be back online as soon as I can afterward to let you guys know that I am alive and healing.
I hope this doesn't overly scare anybody. That is not what I am seeking. I just want people to know in case I am offline for a while. | |

| I made my post in case I am not able to be here at some point before or after my surgery. I will be here as much as I can before the surgery and as soon as I can after. Thankyou for the good wishes. I'll keep you guys up to date on whats happening, as much as I can. | |

| Good luck Ally. You should have told me when I was online. Everything will be fine though. You have a strong heart. | |

| Lots of luck with the surgery Ally. I know what you are going through. I ahd to have sinus surgery a while ago. Its not fun trying to breath through your nose while it is pachked with gauze. May you be blessed with a quick recovery and a successful surgery. | |

| Verinon, whatever does a strong heart have to do with it? I know I will be better than ever when I finally get healed from that surgery. Its still scary. I dont even like Drs.
Also, when we were online together yesterday moring, I believe I told you I'd had a CT scan to find out what was wrong but I hadnt had word from the Dr. yet. I posted something as soon as I had news to report.
I do like Tylenol with Codeine though, I am feeling better today than I have felt in months because of the pain reliever the Dr. gave me. I actually got some much needed work done today.
I hope I get to have my surgery soon so I can get better. There is so much stuff that needs my attention that I have had to ignore while in so much pain. | |

| Watch out for the tylenol with codien in it. It is habit forming if you dont watch out (I should know it was my best frined for over a year). A strong mind and strong heart means a fast recovery best of luck. | |

| I need the Vicodine for now just to get me through the day until the surgery. I am under Dr.s orders not to take Ibuprofen or Aspirin. I cant take anything that will deal with the pain or the cause of the pain other than the Vicodine.
After the surgery, when I am allowed to start taking other meds, I will break any addiction I have to the Vicodine. I've done it before. I may need a lot of help and understanding from my friends, my family, and people who care about me, but I will get through that time when it comes.
okay. its official. i just got the call from the Dr.s office and my surgery is on Friday. I will go in for pre-op tomorrow. The surgery will be at 9:30AM PST That is 12:30 for all of you on the East Coast.
I know I'm going to be okay, but I am scared because I know this is going to hurt a lot more before it gets any better.

| Dr. said the surgery itself should be about an hour but you guys probably wont hear from me till after 1 in the afternoon my time--4PM your time at least. I'll try to be on the computer as soon as I possibly can if for nothing other than to post something here before I go to bed. I may have to argue with whoever's taking care of me (that day while I am drugged) to let me use the computer but I will do that if necessary. I'll be leaving early Friday morning...about 7:30 my time. I doubt I will get online Friday morning, if I sleep at all tomorrow night. Okay, this post is really making me feel anxious which is making my head hurt more. | |

| If you aren't feeling well, you could always tell Grinneg to post something or say something in guild chat. He can always keep us updated if you can't or aren't feeling up to it. | |

| First, I want to thank Spiritsong for being protective of me  That made me smile and feel cared about. Stressing about anything or getting excited about anything has been causing me more pain and discomfort. Second, KingCecil, I do not ignore you. It has happened that you messaged me when I was right in the middle of something and by the time I was able to answer, you had logged off. Also I leave the game on and go afk a lot, so I don't get all my whispers. I am not always at the castle or in my home when I go afk. I have answered your whispers when I have seen them and not been caught up in something. Third, I had my pre-op appointment today. It took a couple of hours and then I went to the bookstore and bought a book to occupy my attention while I am waiting around tomorrow. When I got home, I had a bunch of pre surgery homework to do. Read this, Read that, fill this out, fill that out. Geez!! I thought school homework was bad. I know more or less what to expect of the procedure tomorrow and what to expect afterwards. The Dr. said the head aches wont go away right away. That most of the recovery will happen in the first 2 weeks, then I should be feeling a lot better. The head aches may linger for a while, in which case he said we will have to break the headache cycle. I hope they do go away right away with the removal of the cyst and the inflamed tissues. We will see, though. I like the Dr. who will perform the surgery, though. I got to meet him today. He seems really nice as well as knowledgeable. | |

| First, I want to let you guys know that I am home. I am in recovery. My head still hurts a little, but I can already feel myself breathing better than I have in a long time, even if it is through my mouth for right now.
I'm going to be a bit uncomfortable for a bit longer, but the worst is over. The surgery is over and I am awake and alive.
Second, I want to thank all my friends that were supportive and thinking good thoughs for me and wishing me well.
Third, this thread is for me to let my friends know what is going on and for my friends to post their good luck wishes and good thoughts. Nothing else. Those of you who chose to put other things here were acting very selfishly. | |
