All of a sudden poker doesn't seem so important. I hope all things go well. You seem like a great guy and I hope good news and great health are right around the corner for you.

Best,

yabastid

You'll be fine, don't worry. Just esearch the hell out of it, and make sure your docs are actually paying attention to you.

This really is a pretty OK pocket of the internet.

iMSo, I'm sure everything will work out fine, and kudos to you for actually going to check it out, lots of guys just think stuff like that will go away and dismiss it until it is too late.

There is a common misconception that b/c some posters on this forum don't take kindly to small sample sizes, no0b questions and pinko-commie-fags, they are all bad people...

I've met many STT 2+2ers and everyone has been pretty smart (except Greke), kind (except SuitedSixes) and funny (except Skipperbob, [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]).

Imsolucky is all of the above and it's cool that posters recognize that with such encouragement, [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Good luck and I hope the medical therapy works. If you need surgery do a little research and try to choose a center that performs a high volume of transsphenoidal hypophysectomies.

Default Re: I just took a real bad beat. (real life content)

hey lucky,

i had the scare of my life last fall. i was losing hearing in my right ear (which of course i blew off for 6 months). long story short, i had a 'mass' in my nasal pharynx (x-smoker). i rivered quads with the non-cancerous findings after a simple surgery (i get to go back every 6mos for a while).

anyway...not wanting to pile on the 'well, i had this...', i just wanted to share with you this: the wondering & waiting during the initial period IS by far the worst (it took 2 months from hearing "hmm, thats odd" from the ear doc, to cat-scans, mri's, and eventually the surgery).

understand that no amount of worrying is going to change what is (it was not wanting to know that kept me from going in when i should have). when you get past this, you focus on being what you must - - a realist & an optimist. remain confident knowing you've gotten past perhaps the biggest hurdle. the surgery is a whole lot easier than the torcher you're inclined to put yourself through in the meantime. keep your chin up, find people/activities that keep a smile on your face. know that you're in GREAT hands now - you've done your part [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

best wishes...
