Third Time's A Charm

Hey everyone, sorry for not updating lately but I've been waiting for something new to tell you. Well, guess what? I've got something new to tell you. (Didn't see that one coming did you?)

Anyway, I went for my latest MRI on Monday (which I now have to do every couple of months) to see if there's anything going on in that head of mine. I will spare you the details (complaints) about the MRI since I've covered that dead horse once or twice already. Well, it turns out that there is something happening up there on the top floor. Once again the cyst (who I am now thinking of naming Stymie since he's becoming somewhat of a permanent resident) is back from vacation and bigger than ever. This explains the partial loss of vision and the constant fatigue (thank God because I was starting to think that my Mother was right and it really was making me go blind. You know what I'm talking about. Don't pretend that you don't).

But I digress. After the MRI I went over to see Dr Bernstein and he has decided to hook me up with another surgeon who will try draining Stymie again. They are currently trying to get me into Toronto Western for the operation (which I'm hoping to be asleep for this time) within the week. If they can't get me in as elective they said they would get me in as emergency surgery.

Well, that's about all I have to report so fr. I'll keep you updated on how everything goes when I can.

God bless.
