It's Another....LAST to POST! Who cares about the number? It's LAST that matters!

It was a better day for sure. But mostly because of catching up on sleep.

Maybe you need more sleep..........I'll watch LAST and I see BBMickey is also hanging around....









is that....as in..........like a bad smell???

 

[baseballmickey]

Is tonight one of your late nights up?

I slept all day yesterday, so it should be. but i think i'll be calling it a night soon. still recovering from having a cyst removed yesterday.

OUCH!! That would have been like a real pain in the bahookie!

 

[baseballmickey]

yes, there was some pain involved.

And I really shouldn't be that flippant.....was it just a sebaceous cyst or was it something more sinister?

I'm back to LAST!

Did you go to the bike park?

 

[baseballmickey]

mine had a name. Cholesteatoma. it was behind my ear drum, eating away at all the small bones of my inner ear.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Did you go to the bike park?

Not today.

It's a beautiful day in Melbourne....must be high 60's, blue sky and brilliant sunshine. About the only thing that is wrong is that it's a bit windy.

I bribed DS to get on his bike by suggesting that we ride to the local 7-Eleven. It's about 1 mile away. We headed there for a slurpee and then rode back.

I tell you....that boy of mine is such a wimpy kid sometimes. You'd think that there were rocks and nails on his bike seat the way he carried on . Thankfully, the sugar high kicked in on the way home and it was pretty nice riding back.

OUCH!! I know that google is my friend....but is it serious? Getting rid of the cyst....will it still be there and what about your ear/hearing?


From the name, I'm guessing it might be cholesterol clots related?

I want DS to get outside more, it's important since snow will come any day and that ruins most ouside activities. But i think during the summer he got way into TV.

When does your summer break start?

left alone it can destroy your ear completely and eventually threaten with meningitis. Mine was a fairly big one from what the doc says. I must have had it for a while. He says he got it all out, but from what I've read online, once you had one, you are susceptible to getting them again... so I guess that means going for checkups every year and i'll probably have to take extreme measures when I swim/shower to keep water out of my ear.

My hearing out of that ear was pretty bad right before the surgery. I might be lucky to regain some of it now that it was removed and some of my little pieces were replaced. but it is unlikely to be 100%.

We're in spring. Summer starts on 1 Dec and summer break will start the week before Christmas; whichever Friday is closest. The kids don't go back to school til early Feb.

Last away

Lasting here too? Welcome!

I did google in between posts.

WOW! DH was recently displaying similar symptoms and completed an MRI. Nothing was detected and we think it might be a virus.

Did you realise you were experiencing hearing loss and the dizziness earlier or was it a sudden onset?

If not 100%, will it be an improvement from where it was before the op?

SNOW already??? It seems like yesterday (or May) when the snow only melted!

I never had the dizziness. The hearing loss I experienced was very gradual and I thought I just had chronic ear infections. About a year ago, I started getting facial twitches, and I thought that was from stress. It went away but came back and got worse. I went to doctor and they found a bad ear infection and thought it might be related. while I was being treated for the infection, the doctor saw something that caused him to send me for a CAT scan. That's how they found the cholesteatoma. So now that's removed and i'll just have to wait and see about whether my hearing improves, or if the facial spasms/twitching finally subside.

Summer always goes fast. You never know but when it snows it gets muddy before everything is frozen and that makes playing in the yard less fun.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Hope things get better for you BBMickey.


Skiiingfast...how iminent is snow? You know that shushh is travelling to your neck of the woods and whilst I know she and her family quite like snow....I don't know if they want to drive in it!

Your first day of summer is when we leave for WDW.

I am once again stalking the new posts link. It is more fun to have direct interaction at night when the house is talking and everyone else is snoring. DS4 snores like a trucker. The noise carries all the way into my bedroom.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Well....sometimes I'm usually here on this thread. And there might be a couple of us on, so we chat. Jump in anytime.


Insomnia is not fun.
