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.

It's a damned good thing you slipped down the stairs.
My nephew found out he had cancer when he got kicked in the stomach by a kid at school. He found it in time and survived. He was meant to get kicked, just like you were meant to slip down the stairs.
I am absolutely sure that you will be just fine.
Have faith bro.

sweetie ....just let them take care of you and I'm sure it will all come out fine....the hardest thing is to hand over your control to them but they know what they are doing you really do need to trust in them....I have faith that you were shown this to do something about it....so research your options...write down any questions...and trust your doctor! hug sent your way

I checked this link out and that is to the T what my diagnosis is. i read the story on the guy named william there as well, and they had a great, successful surgery for him as well that was minimally invasive, only a dime size hole in your head, but it is worth it. My mind is going crazy right now and i know that isnt good for me right now, but im really scared for the first time in my life, actually scared. I cant help but think about heather and kylee. She is still so little ya know, if something goes wrong will she know i loved her and was always there for her? Will heather make it without me?

These are thing s i probably shouldnt even be worried about, as from what i can research and find online, most people who die from this dont even know they had it, or it was inoperable, but still i worry, as it can happen at any moment, so im praying that they can get something done asap. I pray something like this never happens to anyone i know, as it really is messing with my mind right now. Heck im worried i may not wake up, so i dont even wanna sleep.

I guess im just take some of these pills they gave me and just try and relax.

well im am awake and kickin! Me head hurts like hell though i cant tell if its from the fall or what. Gonna get ready for the doc, hopefully some good news about the bad news.

Besides all that crazy chit, i hope you guys are ready for some thursday night football!!!! Dont forget to finalize your lineup if ya still can. And eejit, be on the lookout my big boy brees, he is gonna be on tonite, as he gotta prove last years win against the vikings wasnt a fluke, which in my opinion it likely was, as the cowboys beat the saints but not the vikings,weird yes??plus i got reggie bush in there, not sure what his game plan for the season is yet, but he was very exciting in the preseason, much like his college years.
