The Specialist...

So...I had my specialists appointment today. It went ok...except for the fact that they shoved a camera up my nose... That was interesting... So...they sprayed a freezing agent up my nose that tasted bitter and vile and made me want to gag. Then they stuck a camera up my nose to see the back of my throat and tongue...not sure why...but it had to do with my pending operation. So...it is official. I do need surgery again...they haven't given me a date yet, but he did explain why it came back and what they are going to do this time. (Luckily I will be put out for it this time...) The are going to go in and take out the old scar, the whole cyst and part of the bone behind my Adams apple and in front of my vocal chords. That is why it came back to begin with, because the last doctor only removed the cyst, not the surrounding tissue problems... They are going to fix my scar so it doesn't look like a rail road, which it kind of does now...it's not noticeable unless I put my head back, but he is going to make it invisible... So depending on how deep it is and if he has to take some bone depends on whether I have to spend the night in the hospital or not... I have never spent a night in a hospital, or been totally put under before...so I am a little nervous. I have attached a picture to help explain things...



I hope that helps... I also hope they don't book my surgery in August...before or after...but nothing will keep me from Carries wedding...well besides death...
