Bloggy blog blog. And my swollen face.

I had a CT scan today to see what the hell is the problem with my face. I have another appointment on Thursday with an attending or a fellow or something. I don't know. Someone higher up anyway. It's like I'm slowly working my way up through the ranks of doctors as each of them gives it a go.

This one today said that it's probably a stone of some sort, but that he can't feel it. He could SEE swelling from a few feet away (I ate a bit of sour candy to show him), but that he couldn't physically feel a stone in there and couldn't get any saliva out of my gland, so it's pretty much completely blocked.

If the scan shows it to be a smaller stone, they can dilate the opening to the gland (after numbing my face) and try to get it out that way. If it's too big or it's something else (tumor, whatever), they'll have to go in surgically. We shall see. I'll be glad to get rid of it, whatever it is. It makes eating a misery!

I contacted Suppurate System about the lack of emails telling me my necklace had shipped, and they have not gotten back to me yet. Very mysterious. And aggravating. If they don't get back to me within a couple more days, I'll get Paypal to refund the money as something obviously didn't go right with the transaction. Maybe they're on vacation?

I don't know if my dress will show up by this weekend or not. I asked her to have it to me by the 29th, but I haven't gotten a This Shipped email, so maybe it won't turn up for a while yet. I feel foiled! The dead-looking Gurglepurr next to me agrees.

My anxiety is basically back to normal and I had a nightmare last night, so I am pretty sure we need to up the dose. It's not surprising, seeing as the vets were given 10mg as a standard dose and I was only on 1-2mg. I have had so many doctor appointments in these last few weeks, it's ridiculous. I have two next week, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday. Tuesday is with the general practitioner again to see about the Prazosin dose and whatever else. Thursday is another ENT appointment...

Fortunately for me, I have a really handsome husband who knows how to cook. That takes the edge off. ;)
