I'm Dirty Hairy Callahan
Just found out I have a cancerous tumor in my nose. Been telling the docs for uears I've had nose problems. They found I has a severely deviated septum so after years of suffering like permanently stuffed up sinuses, they finally went in to fix the septum, and were supposed to like rotor rooter out my turbinates, whatever that means. But they found a large tumor behind the septum, which was hiding it.. So it looks like I'm now set up to try full face radiation therapy. Which they tell me are going to kill my salivary glands, which will rot all my teeth out. So Tuesday I have to go get all my teeth yanked out. Which the VA will pay for, but they will not pay for dentures for me. Meanwhile my regular VA doctor has decided unilaterally to halt my hydrocodone pain meds Typical government red tape. Eating regular meals are elective I guess, as is the severe pain I'm in from 2 total knee replacements. The pain pills I've been on for 10 years are addictive, he wants me to cold turkey no pills during all my other radiation/chemotherapy woes.
