Well I must say I've slept better then I have in months. I am having some pressure but nothing more then I had before. There is some drainage in my nose, my eye sight seems a bit better (at the moment). My sight was getting pretty bad the last month or so.
Overall, I think I've had great improvement in the past 24 hours. Especially knowing that the pain isn't any worse then what it was before. Shockingly, I've been able to tolerate most of it.
uumm, I think I may have dosed off. Going to go rest.
To the family, you can call today if you'd like. Only thing is that I can't really talk so loud. We love you guys!

I live because he died for me!
I went to the Dr. today and I now have my surgery tomorrow am! There are a few things they have to fix.
One, of course is the Fungus. They will be going behind my eyes and throat. As I mentioned before it’s fully covering my left side.
Second, he will need to repair the damage to my nose. It is now broken and he assumes it’s from the fungus. That will be cosmetic, which obviously means a nose job!
Thirdly, He will have to remove tissues from the higher inside part of my nose. This one is called a deviated spectrum or something to that degree.
This is the major thing that must be answered immediately. He was able to see 10-15 pre cancerous polyps. Once noticed it then brought great concern. He then asked if I was able to have surgery in the am. What was I to do but say yes! This is what I’ve been waiting for! He never had the chance to ask twice. As soon as the polyps are removed they will be sent for a biopsy. I’m praying that the Lord grabs hold me and brings back a postive report.
The Doctor said that since I so clearly understand pressure, that he’ll be blunt. He said I was going to be in some serious pain for about 3 days. Thank you for finally putting it down for me! Now that’s honesty!
I will ONLY update on here for the next few days. Mike will be home to watch the house. Yep I need prayer for that too! Dear Lord, can you please make sure he at least cleans the table? LOL!! Come on now you know men and more so when they are left with the reasonability of taking care of children too!
The people at church have asked if they could do anything. They will only be a phone call away if Mike can’t hold the fort down. Guess who I’ll be calling?
Oh and please restrain from calling tomorrow. I won’t have much of a voice.
Let me say one last thing! What kind of nose should I get? Keep the prayers coming because I’m going to need them for the biopsy! Oh the power of prayer!
PS. Did I mention I'm getting a nose job?!

What boogers? It's fungus!
Did today fly by or was I in shock over all the news?
I had my appointment at 11:00. My Dr. wasn’t able to do much because none of my paperwork was in the medical record, not even the CT scan! How the world is does that happen? Oh wait, we’re in the military, it always happens.
He stuck a 6 inch pipe thing up my nostrils. This makes 3 different sizes up my nose. Anyway, I had some pain but not nearly like I did when I had those 12 inches go up there! He probed a little and quickly discovered that my nose is broken. So now that too is going to need repair! He asked if I could quickly get my hands on the CT scan. Well lucky for me my husband works in the clinic! Of course I can.
I went to base and within minutes there were 2 corpsmen, 1 LT and a commander on top of it. I was out of there within 30 minutes. I had to go to P’cola to pick up the requested info. That took a while by the way. We got home at 5pm.
My nose is a little aggravated and I have only a small amount of pain, enough that I can withstand it with minimal medication, if any.
When I came home I had my allergy test results in hand. Yeah okay, I can’t read it at all!! I asked Mike if he could interrupt what’s on it and all he said was “The nurse said you are HIGHLY allergic to mold. That’s the main one on the paper.”
Umm Mike, “DUHHH!!” “Ya think honey?” The list I have is 2 pages long. Yep, that’s it, only 2. HA!
Tomorrow I have to go back to the Dr. at 1530; that’s…………………………3:30pm. Sorry I forgot what the conversion was on the time. I should have been a Marine! LOL!
My instructions were to use the Nedi Pot 3 times a day and while awake keep my head elevated. Take Motrin for pain and ice my brains away.
That’s really all for tonight. I’ll post more tomorrow evening. Stayed tuned peeps but it’s only going to get better. Actually I’m going to take a look at what kind of nose I want. HEHE!
