"OUCH Dammit, now that REALLY hurts!!"

May 17 2005

We decide to go to a specialist- Dr. Schell, ENT, to have my nose and sinuses looked at. Of course, this cannot go without some uncomfortable procedure. Okay, let's see what will really make the patient claw for the ceiling??? Aha, stick a fiber optic tube up her nose and down her throat; That should do it nicely. And it should seem high tech so as to justify the OUTRAGEOUS bill I will send her insurance company. I AM a Specialist you know! 

Well, "we" see (he sees and relays to us, his captive audience,) lots of infection, chronic, and... a SPOT on the larynx. OMG, OMG, OMG, Not the dreaded spot sighting, I've already had that and DO NOT like the sounds of it.  

I burst into hysterics. DC calms me and reassures the doc that I am just reacting normally given my past history with spots. Of course, I want to break out into MacBeth and do the Lady MacBeth "Out Out Damned Spot" routine to break the tension. DC senses this and gives me the no-don't look.

CT-Scan is scheduled for the following Tuesday. I try not to worry when he tells his nurse, "Get her in ASAP."
