Months LID...
Not much else to say...
- Well, had my CT scan last week for my sinuses. The Dr. just wanted to see if there was a need for surgery on those also, due to all of the nasty infections and crap that is always present in my head. This was after he decided that I absolutely needed my tonsils extracted. He wanted to see the CT results to see if I should just do it all at once. So yesterday, I met with the surgeon for the results of that and to schedule the tonsillectomy. THANKFULLY... my sinuses are no worse, no procedure needed there. Surgery would do nothing to help the insane allergies I have, and that is where all my problems with those stem. So, onto to tonsils.... After a very enlightening discussion with the surgeon (who happens to be the Dr.s wife) I have once again chickened out... No way... No how, am I putting myself through that kind of pain... I will manage my tonsil infliction myself. thankyouverymuch. Most of it has to do with the fact that I cannot take pain killers of any sort. They make me violently ill... So nope, not me, not having anything removed that will cause a need for prescrip. drugs. I'll stick with the q-tips in my mouth!!
- Other than that.... not much to write about. Today was my first day back at work since last Tuesday... It was a very nice impromptu staycation. I did absolutely nothing for 6 days straight... it was lovely!
Have a great rest of your week!

I don't blame you Kristen. I have ignored the constant requests of my doctor to see an ENT for many reasons, one of which is the pain involved. After having seen my daughter go through it herself, and feeling terrible for having put her through it, I just can't do it. I am not sure how they explained it to you, but the doctor who did Julias informed me (after she ended up back in the hospital on an IV for dehydration because it was too painful to eat or drink anything even with pain meds) that it is the worst pain anyone can ever experience, even being worse than childbirth. There are more nerve endings in our throats than anywhere else in the body, and thats why it is the most painful.
I too will live with the constant strep throat and the white chunks that come out of my tonsils daily.
I hope things have eased up a bit for you though. I know it has been a rough few months.
dear lord... i'm sorry you're having all these issues Kristen. how horrible you can't opt for surgery and solve the problem, but i totally understand why.
my heart is absolutely breaking for joannah and michael. we had an email exchange today... i've shed lots of tears through my prayers for them since hearing the news.
