It's done and it wasn't any worse than getting novicane, though the needle was huge. He said that they usually use these needles for epidurals, to which I said "Yet another good reason to not have kids". Har har.

Surgery is his last resort and since I responded to the prednisone quite well (though temporarily) he thinks the cortisone will work as well and longer. I may need to get needles every 4-6 months though. Surgery is just another treatment, not a cure, since the polyps will just grow back again. Looks like this is going to be a chronic problem that I will deal with for the rest of my life. Whoopie.

I should add that the doctor fit me in for this procedure today because I told him it would be sad if I couldn't taste my turkey dinner on Christmas. Nice guy!

Oh, poor Meeg... Don't worry, I'll do up 4 more, no problem. You shall have 6 postcards. It's the least I can do.

And, since I'll probably be seeing you in 15 minutes, you won't even see this message until after.

Well, it sounds like he's a good doctor at least. It's very nice of him to let you taste your turkey dinner!

He's great, and was worth the wait. thank you Canadian health care system!

Thanks Elena for the postcards. It was nice seeing you even for 2 minutes! I didn't get a chance to ask about B. How is he doing? Has he gone for his second CT?

Oh, when I was getting the procedure done Dr. Dempsey asked the nurses where the Otrivin was. The nurse said "That new young ENT guy had it last." So I said "Blaming Dr. Leblanc are you?" Dempsey laughed and said "He'll be marked for life by these nurses now." =)

Heh... Dr LeBlanc and Brian bonded over TTT. He hasn't gotten any news on the 2nd CT.

You guys get Firefly in 1/2 hour. So very jealous.

Oh fuck. We were out earlier this evening (family rehearsal for a song we're singing in church on Sunday), and set the VCR to tape Global. Unfortunately Global was showing some Christmas made-for-tv movie. Grr. So we're missing the first half (I got home at 10:00). Anyone got a tape we could borrow?

Megan, I hope that the shot works really well, so you can enjoy your turkey.

Sue, thanks for the offer. I actually have lots of recipes - I just didn't have the energy to make any of them. We'll see how it goes.

Gaaaaah! I hate Global!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I think Rob is going to tape it for me. (I hope he's intending ot hoof it over here as soon as it's done. ) But I will have missed the first 15 minutes...so I will want to borrow your tape sometime after I get back, Megan.

I also hate Global. Except for the way it normally saves us from having to watch the scary American ads during Firefly. But today, I hate it.

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT!~!!!!!!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

When is it showing on Global? What time? FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!

FUCK!!!

FUCK...

Okay... When did it start and when did it end on Global?

It's not on Global, Elena, they're showing some lame-ass Christmas movie. I don't know when they'll show it now.
