So here's the word (or words) about my nose. Inverted Papilloma.
My ENT doctor describes the Inverted Papilloma as an aggressively growing, benign tumor. It needs to be removed or I will never be free of this blasted sinus infection. If left in place it has the potential of turning into cancerous lesions. No fun there. I got to look at my CT scan when I was in the ENT's office Even specialists have experts they turn to. My ENT, it turns out, is a specialist on the throat. He is sending me to a specialist on the sinuses and endoscopic sinus surgery.
Turns out this new doctor is the chairperson of the Otolaryngology department at a well known teaching hospital in the area. I hope this means I'll be getting the kind of treatment it sounds like I would be getting. My wife always ends up getting the best doctors in their fields. Maybe her luck is rubbing off on me. My appointment is on the 29th. I'm hoping to have this dealt with shortly after that.

But what will I do with all the leftover pharmaceuticals at Ascend when you get your nose fixed? I'll have to open a drugstore out of the bathroom! Ah well, good luck anyway!
