I suppose I am one of those who checks in only occasionally now that I am over 4 years out. I think in my case it just seems to be too much of a reminder to check in and scan posts from time to time. It is difficult for me not to get a bit depressed if I scan and read too much in many cases. I do admit that when it is coming up time for me to have an updated CT scan and physical check by my ENT I feel a need to check in on the site. Tomorrow just happens to be such an occasion as I have my scan tomorrow followed by the ENT meeting, scoping, etc. a week from tomorrow. I still get a bit "antsy" starting a few days before the next scan as I am sitting here tonight. A clean one this time will put me at the 4 year and 4 month point and it all comes back to me in great detail at a time like now.
