Good news, bad news
Wow, aren't I feeling incredibly mixed. I went to the clinic today and they said my proclactin was way up. Which means that the tumor is growing. So I need a MRI. I also need to see a neurosurgeon and an endocrinologist. HOwever, my thyroid is ok. Which, is good because it was damaged. The Dr. I had wanted me to get the process done as soon as possible. He said if we were in the hospital and I had the coverage, he'd do it all right now. *pretty urgent then* Since I am getting free medical coverage from the county, there is buracratic tape stopping me. I need to get approval by some board. I'll know in a week.

He was a great Dr. He actually cared about how much crap I had to go through in order to get coverage. *or atleast it seemed like he cared* Plus, he said he'd personally try to get my process speeded up. In the meanwhile, he prescribed me my old pills and a testostorone shot.

After getting home, I could feel the effects already. I felt a rush of energy and anger. *great, the teen years all over* I ended up sleeping. After getting up, I decided to try to get the internet working.

I tried all kinds of stuff. I worked on various solutions from 9PM to 1 AM. Finally, after reinstalling windows and fixing the new problems associated with that, I had a stroke of genius. Its a long boring story, but lets just say I feel better. I thought I'd have to go to a tech. I swear, if its not one thing with this computer, its another.

As it is, I feel really mixed. I'm happy to be online and have an ok thyroid. I feel sad that surgery seems ineviable. I worry about having to recover. This time is a lil better because I have Michelle there for me. I dunno....... Its time to wait for the red tape to clear. Funny, its almost 3 years to the day I had surgery last time. *1 day off* Yet somehow I'm not laughing. Thanks for the comments.

Yes, it is terrible how the medical insurance is.
Those who do not need it, abuse it. Then there are those like you...life and death decisions have to be made by a 'board'. It is disgusting.
Tino, I am sorry that you have to go through this.
You are in my prayers.
