Hi everyone,
I had my two appointments today, and they both went well.
I was apprehensive about driving into NYC on 9/11 and happy to be back home. I pray the day continues without incident.
Saw Dr. Halpern at Sloan; the stuff he froze off was just skin tags and some follicle-type thingys.
Then proceeded to Dr. Pavlick at NYU. My labs are all good. (I remembered to drink a lot of water, kidneys, et al are fine. They are reducing Decadron from 12 to 8 mg./day, and I’m to call to see how I’m feeling on Friday. They looked inside my ear, for the first time since Zel stopped working, around May, they can see all the way to ear canal. There is still some Mel left down at the bottom of canal, but at least the head/neck surgeon isn’t talking about cutting it off, and my hearing is at least 90% improved. I am finally allowed to go by railroad to take care of some personal stuff tomorrow, looking forward to that. Still no driving, next MRI is scheduled for 9/30, hopefully will be cleared by then.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!
Take care,
Karen
