Just a cyst that has decided to perch on my eyebrow bone and is maybe invading my eyesocket..........so, tomorrow, I see an opthamologist who will let me know exactly what is what and when the surgery will be........wierd thing is at first, I was in shock since it was the last thing I expected to hear. I had gone to my allergist, since the thing had been swelling and then it would go down.......I thought it had something to do with sinuses or allergies, but, after sticking his pincers in my ears, nose and gagging me with a tongue depresser, then quite vigorously palpating the now unswollen, but still visible lump, he stated that I had a cyst and it HAD to come out....but, since it was out of his field he was sending me to another Dr. So, after I got home, I grabbed the vacuum cleaner and vacuumed the whole house, then I got on the 'phone and called my mom, my boyfriend's mom, and another adopted mom to let them know what was going on.......then, I ate supper, watched TV and went to sleep. I'm not depressed or anxious.......I've actually been joking about it with coworkers, etc. I'll keep ya all posted as things go along. Terri

Hey Gang! Well, went to the Dr. this am and got a THOROUGH eye exam........eyes are healthy, no signs of macular degeneration, optic nerve is healthy, no glaucoma........just gettin' long in the tooth.......lol.......whoops, wrong kinda Dr. So, about the cyst. He wants to see it when it's "erupting and inflamed" before he decides what to do with it. His opinion is that it is NOT invading the eye socket, but perched above it, centered on the eyebrow. He also doesn't feel that it is dangerous, i.e. cancerous. What a GREAT Dr. though! He took alot of time with me, and was very very meticulous.......he even checked my eyes with some gizmo to make sure they were symmetrical........they are.......If and when he does surgery, he says that it could very well be done in the office, under local anesthesia as he says I am not the kind of person who seems to freak out easily. I said, no problem, I'd rather go that route, since I HATE that awful after anesthesia feeling. So, for now, things are okay! Thanks for the "light" Gretchen! Peace out! Terri

Good to know it isn't a tumor! Hope it goes away by itself so that no further doc visits are necessary.

one more thing happened today that was wonderful: my sister called me this morning (see my thread about the sparks flew) to tell me that she loved me and was thinking of me and hoping for the best for me!!!!! This was a gift for today, and I thank the Great Spirit for it! Terri
