Update on my Head



Just when I thought everything was okay cause I never heard the results from the doctors about the results of my cat scan. It was yesterday when I finally got the news of the results the doctor called me and asked if I had ever heard back from the hospital or the other doctor about the results. I said nope I thought everything was okay since I haven't heard anything. Well, she was surprised that no one called me to let me know what was going on. She continued and said well I have the results from your cat scan. And this is when the news hit me. She first started off saying your head is okay it doesn't look like you damaged it from hitting it... I said okay. and she said but there's been a change.... I said what you mean? she said well the cat scan shows that you have a cyst on your brain.
Not knowing what she was talking about I was confused and I was asking her what she meant by a cyst and she told me that I basically have a bubble hanging on the side of my brain. Its full of fluid but it doesn't look like its life threatening unless its bothering you. and she was just checking up on me about my headaches and how I felt. I said well right now the headache's are coming and going away now. Other than that I feel so much better now. She started suggesting that it may be best if I see a neurologist for this. But not knowing what to do since its not really life threatening at the moment it hasn't bothered me. She told me that she would talk to my regular doctor about it and see what he wants me to do. She said yeah that's probably where that long week of headaches were coming from was from the cyst and its probably putting so much pressure on your head that its causing headaches. But after that she said she would let me know what to do next she said she was going to call me back tomorrow (today) and so after all that after I found out I said thanks so much for letting me know that I have this cyst on my head. And we just hung up after all that and I told my parents what I found out... Were all stuck how did I get a cyst on brain? That's the first question they had and than they asked if I heard the doctor the right way and I said yeah I heard everything she was telling me and we tried looking up all about this cyst on my brain and not knowing the symptoms of this I really don't know how to feel or what to expect. I guess tomorrow if anything maybe Monday I will hear from them again. Since I went up to Idaho and I don't have a working cell phone and my grandma's cell phone doesn't have much air time on it. So my mom called us and let me know that the doctors office had called and I couldn't really call them back especially since my grandma is like well I wouldn't mess with it cause they will put you on hold and it will take forever to talk to the doctor.
So I guess tomorrow or Monday I will either call them back or they will call me back. I'm hoping this goes away on its own maybe it will just start going away on its own cause I cant afford anymore visits to the hospital and I really can't afford the doctors either at this time. Plus were gonna talk to the doctor and see if we can put me on a program to help me pay for all of this and also get me on some medication to help this go away cause I want to avoid the biggest thing ever having surgery done.
