Needing to see neurologist

Carrie

Man, I am so scared. I had an MRI done because my hearing has been bad. They checked for things regarding my hearing. I looked at my results, things looked like it came back normal.

I talked to the ENT doctor yesterday and she told me she had no idea why my hearing is how it is, great. I’ll recheck this next year but then she said my brain goes down into my skull more than it should, she said I will give a referral for a neurologist and they can see if you need surgery.

I went from hearing to needing brain surgery!!! WTF. Like… I have no idea what to think right now.

Is it okay to freak out? When is it okay to freak out? Like am I doing this okay? Lol I haven’t talked to anyone in neurology yet, but damn I have no words. You go for hearing and learn your brain is dumb. (That’s a joke). But really… damn.

I got off the phone with my doctor and talked to my husband who was just confused, as I was. I looked up what was on my results and damn. How the fuck can I have something most NFL players die of?!

Sorry, this is just a rant and a vent. Would you freak out?

Also, my sister in law (also best friend) knows all about my hearing, all about my MRI and even asked me the results but when I read the results I thought things were fine and that’s what I told her, do I correct myself and let her know?
