Who do you know who has sleep problems but doesn't have a tumor?

Me!!!

The whole catheter story was about me having my second MRI in a week. The first MRI was planned and was to rule out any neurological causes from my central sleep apnea. Apparently some people have a misshapen brain which creates pressure on the area of your brain that controls breathing. I got the good news a week ago over the phone:

Nurse lady: We have the results from your MRI, and the good thing is we didn't see anything wrong with your brain related to your sleep problems.
Me: Great!

I start to wonder why she was so specific with her news. Maybe there was more good news, like maybe I had super powers and could blow things up with my mind.

Nurse lady: There is one thing however that came up during the MRI of your brain, and we're going to refer you to an endocrinologist to have your pituitary adenoma checked out.

Endocri-what? Adenoma? Don't I have to go see Patrick Stewart in a wheel chair for my super powers? This isn't going as I had so briefly hoped.

Nurse lady: There's a growth on your pituitary gland that needs to be investigated and you'll need another MRI, this time focusing on that area.

I immediately turned to the internet to tell me all about this pituitary pimple that I may have. Hmmm...adenoma = tumor. The pituitary gland is in my head. I could have a tumor in my head. Nooooooooo!!

But it all turned out ok. No growth, adenoma, tumor, or pimple present. The second MRI showed my pituitary gland was completely normal outside of looking extra sexy. I rule!

By the way, Andre the Giant had a pituitary adenoma.
