It's Nothing, Really.

Okay.  Well lets see what's new.  Christmas is in 15 days, we only have 1/2 the Christmas shopping done.

I have an appointment on January 4th for my Spinal Tape.  This is for my Migraines to see if I have Pressure Migraines.  Garrick is taking the day off to go with me.  He's been pretty good of getting to all my doctors' appointments when it has to do with either the Migraines or Fibromyalgia.

Yesterday we went to the Lahey Clinic to see Dr. Jenkins.  He's the Liver Specialist I needed to see about that mass I have that's about the size of a tennis ball.  He was a very nice man.  He went into detail about what I had & what we could do about it.  I think the most important thing he said was "No Surgery"!  This is what he said I had:

FNH.  Focal Nodular Hyperplasia.  This is basically scar tissue in the liver.  They think that it is caused by an irritation or abnormality, & the body responds by surrounding the blood vessel with the scar tissue.  He has found that there is an association with Migraines, which they don't know why.  He said it's mostly harmless. 

They did some blood tests (7!! tubes) to check for cancer markers & the different Hepatitis'.  He said if they showed anything, on which he seriously doubted, I would hear from him right away.  Other than that his assistant Julie will call me Tuesday or so to schedule a Cat Scan for March & a follow-up with Dr. Jenkins right after it.  He said that after that I would continue to see him once a year for as long as I have it.

So that's the fun stuff so far.  Today our plans are to attempt to finish decorating the tree & the Doda's annual Christmas Party.  Christy
