Very unfortunate news

[PANAMHIEST]

Today while taking out this trash, I took a spill down the stairs. It was a painful fall, and from what heather said i passed out twice. So to be on the safe side she made me, mind ya she made me, as im not fond of hospitals and sharp things like needles and lord know what else, I went. Got some x-rays of my back, and some cat scans of my head, as i bonked it good and hard on a few stairs on the ride down the stairs.

Well after some much dreaded waiting time, The doc told me, that i would just have some contusions(fancy word for Bruises), and that i would be sore for a few weeks, great i thought, nothing broken or malfunctioning.

Well then he asks me if i get head pain and/or headaches often. Im like well ya have for years, was told back in the day i was just a chronic migraine sufferer, and aspirin was my best friend. Well he gets all serious and tells me that i have a approximately 1 inch colloid cyst in my brain. My and my family have been floored by this news, and it is very tough news to swallow knowing that i can suddenly die at any moment.

I have a appointment with my primary care doc tomorrow, and will likely get a referral to a neurologist or some sorta brain specialist to determine whether i will need surgery if operable, or going the non invasive treatment route., I hope the latter, as docs poking around in my brain dont sit too keen with my thoughts.

I will keep you guys up to date on this, and please pray everything will be alrite.

I got them to make a copy of my scans and brought em with me to the nuerologist and the ***r stole em, so now i gotta go make some more copies.

Not life threatening.... sounds like good news as opposed to the opposite at the moment. PK has great advise! A second opinion is a good thing. We are talking about you and your life. To be thorough is every bit your right. Never hesitate to ask questions, any single thing you don't understand. Doctors are to be appreciated, but they are working for you! If you don't feel comfortable asking have Heather ask! Make sure you are comfortable with understanding what is happening with you and your body. : ) My thoughts and prayers are with you!
