Where is the mute button?
Well, we are finally getting close. After about two weeks of just sitting around waiting, I am finally about to get to see the doc down at MD Anderson. Anna and I leave this evening for my parents' house down in Houston and then we will wake up early tomorrow morning to get to the appointment. Because of the time span between my last doctor appointment and this one, my whole noma thing has kind of been put on the back burner. I even managed (with much help from my lovely wife Anna and Julia) to install a kitchen during this spell. Now, with this long-awaited appointment staring me in the face, all the thoughts, worries, and questions start to rear their ugly little heads again. The little voices in the back of my mind that bring up things that I don't even want to think, much less say. I am trying to remain strong, but these voices manage to get a shot in here and there. Where is the mute button?

The battle begins in earnest now.
ReplyDeleteWere you given a firm diagnosis?
ReplyDeleteThey don't know exactly what it is yet. The first biopsy was inconclusive but they seemed to have ruled out lymphoma. Hopefully, MD Anderson is able to shed some light on what kind of noma it is.
