Left Turn

Ok, so this is what I didn't say in my last post. I didn't say that when the flight back to SFO was descending, I got one of those crippling sinus decompression headaches that pretty much feels like a part of your face is being ripped out.

I didn't say that when I still felt awful a week later, I finally went to the doctor and asked him to please find out what the hell was going on (been super sick off and on for the last six months). I didn't say that he ordered a CT scan and found a large mass in my left sinus. The doctor says it looks benign, but I'll find out more on Wednesday.

In any case, it will involve surgery. Which means no flying for some time. Which means, with my (grown) kids on the west coast, I feel I pretty much can't move back east right now. Even though I finally did find the perfect house. And so... I'm recalculating some more.

Moving is still on the agenda. I'm really kind of over the silicon valley thing. I think what I may do after the surgery and treatment, is move to one of my fave places on the central coast (SLO or Santa Barbara) and just rent and chill and do art for a while, till NY or Santa Fe or Portland calls to me and says "come hither!"

I've come to realize my life is FULL of left turns. This does seem to be just one of a series. But that's ok, really. Keeps it interesting...
