Up in the air....

So not too much to report.... I did finally speak with the ENT. They are considering the possibility of doing a frontal Sinus obliteration, not a fun sounding surgery if I do say so myself. My ENT came into discuss it with me last night, and he said he was not all that comfortable with what it would entail.... I guess a little history is needed at this juncture. Approximately a year ago I had a frontal sinus trefornation, where they make a tiny incision kinda in your eyebrow and then drill thorough your forehead, clean the infection, and then place a drainage tube to aid with the draining. When they did the MRI to get a better picture of my sinus's they realized that the infection that was socked in up there had completely eaten the bone away between my sinus cavity and my brain. That was a hard surgery to go through, the first time I had a reaction to the anesthsia and was pretty much a zombie for for days... couldn't move, could barely talk.... didn't eat or drink..... It was bad. They ened up having to remove the tube because I was throwing up so much and it was causing alot of pressure to build up behind the tube. About a week later My Dr. redid the surgery and this time I handled it very well. I had the tube for about two weeks. Here's a picture, of my "Horn"

Anyways, back to the matter at hand.... The reason my Dr. is weary of doing the sinus obliteration is that there is no bone left to protect my brain. If we did the obliteration, he would effectively have to remove all infection from that sinus cavity, and to do that he would pretty much have to scrape the infection away from my brain without penetrating the derma.... He straight up told me that he has never had to do this before (a sign of a great Dr. if I do say so myself) and was not entirely comfortable proceeding without exprloring other avenues. As a result, he was going to call a consult from the team in Denver and ask if anyone there had any expierience with this. If there is someone in Denver who has this type of expierience it is likely that I will be headed down there for at least a consult. On the up side, he did say that when you have an obliteration done they fill your sinus with fat from another part of your body..... lets hear it for some impromptu Lipo shall we??? :) He did say that he would like to do another trefornation, just to help get some relief from the headaches i've been having. Don't know when that will happen, but I see him again on Mon, so I will know more then. More about Denver, more about the surgery. Wish me luck :)
