Cavewoman Update

I went back to Dr. ENT on Wednesday.

I was fully prepared to "introduce" some brownies and pizza into my diet.

No such luck.

He said that he could tell that my sinuses were much clearer, but since my ears have yet to drain he wants me to stay on the diet for THREE MORE WEEKS (making a 9-week total...the longest I have gone without anything in my life).

I have to admit that I am getting used to eating oddly, and I have really never felt better. If it weren't for the ear thing, I would be totally satisfied and willing to live like this (with some cheating, of course).

After the three weeks I will go back, and if they still haven't cleared up, I will most likely have to have sinus surgery due to my "narrow anatomy." He is worried that even if I start to introduce even small amounts of wheat, milk or eggs back into my diet that will cause enough inflammation to trigger another battle with chronic infection. Thus the "narrow anatomy."

And since I really don't see myself living the rest of my life without a slice of pizza, I say bring on the knife.

And I better be better by Lindsey's wedding, because she is having cake from Edgars. Which I am sure is full of wheat, eggs AND milk, and which I will be eating regardless of the consequences.
