Diagnosis: Rocks in my Head
SO the CT scan results say i have stones in my saliva glands.
Fogarty said he'd been a bit anxious that it might be lymphoma...
SO i'm getting a referral to an ENT.
I am also getting referral to the sleep center so that i can get a full workup and a new BiPAP.
I am also getting a referral to a podiatrist because i have a very sore toe with no visible cause which i do not recall stubbing, getting stepped on, catching in a door or being bitten by a gila monster.

Well, at least you weren't bitten in the throat by a gila monster while you were sleepwalking. That would make for a bad day.
Good luck with everything!

I completely deny all knowledge of DARPA's stealth gila monster technology.

S'OK, I can McGuyver your microwave oven to make a device that will crumble those stones to powder. We'll just have to chill you to close to absolute zero beforehand is all, no problem... Hang in there dude.

Re: Diagnosis: Rocks in my Head
A sonic device would probably work better or vibrate the stones loose or to break them up. I think I recall ultrasonic frequencies have been used to break up kidney stones?

Lithotripsy. The lithotripter creates mostly-ultrasonic shock waves which break up the stones.GlytchMeister wrote:A sonic device would probably work better or vibrate the stones loose or to break them up. I think I recall ultrasonic frequencies have been used to break up kidney stones?
Not sure what the effect on hearing would be, of having one of these firing blasts into the salivary glands. That's a bit too close to the ears for my level of comfort...

True. But there are ways of focusing sound very precisely...

Re: Diagnosis: Rocks in my Head
Or just have two sources of sound, and have them aligned and tuned just right so that the separate sound waves amplify around the salivary ducts while interfere and cancel out near the ears. I'm sure that we could get it all figured out with a minimal chance of accidentally liquefying his brain.

what do you mean by this word "brain"... does he HAVE one to liquefy?Catawampus wrote:Or just have two sources of sound, and have them aligned and tuned just right so that the separate sound waves amplify around the salivary ducts while interfere and cancel out near the ears.
