Can I ask for everyone's vibes tomorrow at 2:00 eastern time? That's when I'll finally be having my sinus issue addressed by the specialist and I'm mighty scared. Thanks everyone.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I'm not sure if I'll be going dark or possibly just dim as I head out to my Dad's for Thanksgiving. They do have internet out there, but the service is kind of ehhh.

Going dark or a last dim. Going to be visiting my mom in the land of 28.8 connections.

I am off for food, food, family, movies, more food, some plane rides, and some food. I'll probably be mostly dark until Monday or Tuesday.

Surprise surprise - I'm going dark for most of the weekend. Holiday stuff, best friend in from Chicago, other things to keep me away from the computer.

Mostly lurking...
Mom finally heard back from the doctor. She has a polyp in her uterus, but it is benign. She still has to have it removed, though, as it’s obviously bothering her, so she’ll set up the appointment for outpatient surgery next week. Thanks for the vibes…she seems relieved.

Going dark for Thanksgiving really isn't enough for a beep me post, but I did want to ask that if anybody needs to email me (shyeah, right) please wait till Monday. Don't know if I'll be able to check my email, and I get so much spam my hotmail box will without question overflow and start rejecting mail. Ah, the joy of hotmail. Thanks.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Not Really Apocalyptic, but if anyone saw my cellphone from last night, drop me a line.
I am plagued by thieving fairies, evidently.

Ok, we have a verdict. I have polyps (nothing major, they are just like blisters) in my sinuses, along with a lot of mucus (aka snot). The polyps are blocking the airflow from my nose to the nerves that control smell in my brain. The ENT said my body is having an autoimmune reaction to an allergy or infection so it's attacking me through my nose.
The doctor has decided to take the "let's try this before surgery" route so he prescribed a short but intense round of the steriod Prednisone. I go back next month and he'll reassess my possible needs for surgery.
The doctor thinks that I'll have my sense of smell back in 2-3 days if the prednisone is going to work.
So, nothing definitive but there's progress.
