No More Doctors ... at least for awhile.

Brain tumor? Pineal cyst? Pineocytoma? Pineal lesion?

Whatever this 12mm object is in my head ... the doctors have all decided that the risk of taking it out is greater than leaving it in. I feel like I have wasted the last two months of my life pursuing this ... and wasted a ton of money. Furthermore, while I pursued this medical concern in my head, we also pursued a medical situation with my seventeen-year-old son. Long story short, after a lot of doctors and tests and money, the specialist is 95% sure he has Ulcerative Colitis. Which has very similar symptoms as Crohn's disease. There is a small (5%) chance it could still be Crohn's. This is a lifetime conidition that will need to be managed.

So, needless to say, I'm tired of doctor's visits.

However, I found several things very interesting:
1. The "bedside" manner of the pediatric doctors was much more calming than the neuro-doctors.
2. The pediatric medical staff all encouraged me to go home and Google my son's condition while the neuro-people all DIS-couraged me from researching brain issues on the internet.
3. The pediatric specialist was the first to admit he doesn't know everything, but the neuro-doctors all wanted me to take their words as divine revelation.

*sigh*

Enough complaining.

I've decided to move forward. So, starting tomorrow, I will be back to regular blog posts ABOUT WRITING, READING, AND EATING (just as the blog title says). I will probably start posting on a MWF schedule ... we'll see how it goes.

So, check back tomorrow for a new book review. And, thanks for your patience.
