And here's my "2cm" incision. 2cm. Oh really? 
Ow. Serious ow.
As it turns out, they found 2 clots in the blood flow. Both would have caused me a stroke. I am one very, very blessed woman. I realized my situation was precarious, but none of us realized how precarious it was.

Can I just say - if anyone has dizziness, ringing in their ears, or ANY changes to their vision - don't avoid your doctor! Take this as a PSA. It saved my life - and I was being investigated for something totally different. I had great doctors, tho, and they found something that definitely would have killed me, had it been left unaddressed. I consider myself blessed beyond measure.
So - again - PSA:
Have great doctors. See them regularly. Don't die.

Wow that looks really painful, but it sounds like you have some lovely things to celebrate on your birthday. Did the pulsatile tinnitus go away, it would be nice if this bought you some peace and quiet as well as peace of mind.
I dont have a lot of nice photos on my phone -- my favourites are the ones of Australia (perth and brissy) so I'll attach them.

So very glad they found the clots!
Have great doctors can be an exhausting thing to do as it takes time to find one who listens, but you have convinced me that I need to take the time to find a great one so that when I have need I will have one to call.
Your "2cm" looks like it grew about like my "2 inch" did! Surgeons must use a different ruler than the rest of us

Thank goodness for whatever else ails that enabled the Drs to find these quiet and insidious blockages. You look fabulous and I am sending warm wishes for a speedy recovery.
I have a neck scar like yours, but it’s in the center of my neck. It’s our badge of honor! I think it’s beautiful. And as my Dr said about my neck scar, “It will nestle into the wrinkles soon enough!”
Be well @mrs-b

Hope your feeling better soon and they diagnose and fix your other ailments
Happy birthday Mrs B

@mrs-b That incision will heal beautifully..I had a really nasty looking scar across the front of my neck. It doesn’t look bad at all now. The scar eventually will turn a very pale color which blends in to your skin. XOAnd here's my "2cm" incision. 2cm. Oh really?
