| Odd Week |
| 03.12.08 (6:23 pm) [edit] |
It seems my friends and family are keeping doctors hopping this week.
My best pal had knee surgery yesterday. Thank HVNS. She blew out her knee just before Halloween and various attempts to fix/stabilize it between then and now haven't turned out so well. One of her dogs tripped her a few weeks ago and down she went. She tore two ligaments and the meniscus. Hopefully the surgeon was able to repair it all and she'll be back up bouncing again soonish.
My Dad had his 2nd cataract surgery this morning. Mom said it's odd to see his eyeball in layers. He had good success with his first eye last month, so they're quite optimistic about this one.
After baffling the ER doctor and my general physician, I saw an oral surgeon a few weeks ago. I've had a lump inside my tongue for about 5-6 weeks now. He suspects it's a rogue salivary gland but it's in an odd place, way under the surface. It responds to heat (swells when left at "mouth" temperature, but nearly disappears after eating/drinking something hot.
So tomorrow, they're going to give me a shot in my tongue (a local anesthetic) and cut into it and remove whatever it is in there, then stitch it up. Doesn't that sound FUN?
I know. Compared to JT and her hubby's ordeal, Judy's knee, and my dad's eyeballs, a tongue is pretty minor but it's MY tongue and I want it fully functional. I have plans for it later this summer! I think I'm more worried about the shot than anything. Even the word sounds nasty, don't you think? SHOT. bleh.
Hmm. Do you think a couple of shots before the shot would be helpful? I don't usually drink alcohol but it's sounding pretty sweet right now!
