Well, that was unexpected. A phone call today letting me know that the results are available. With the convenient fact that the neurosurgeon has a clinic tomorrow and has an appointment in the afternoon should I want it.
Should I want it? Of course I said yes! Waiting extra time knowing that they know but I don't would be a nightmare. At least this way we only have one night in which to get no sleep whatsoever.
I can't help but be amused. The estimate was 7-10 days for plain tissue, 14-21 days for something more calcified. So of course they've phoned me on day 12, giving me no clue whatsoever as to what way this might be leaning. I keep reminding myself that the CT showed lots of calcification, and the surgeon saw nothing to make him revise his unconcerned position; trying to ignore the possibilities and instead concentrate on the probabilities!
Also worth pointing out that I was offered the appointment tomorrow if it 'was not too short notice', not because there was any need for an urgent 'get in here tomorrow' visit.
Obviously messages/emails/posts will be forthcoming at some point, but don't expect anything before late afternoon/early evening.
Results tomorrow
