My Real Life

I’m Home

Today was the big day.

Sinus surgery.

It went well. 

She snipped out parts of my sinuses to make it easier for me to drain, and she also corrected the deviated septum.

So, now I’m home and it hurts. 

Quite a bit, actually. 

Interestingly, my front left tooth hurts the most, but I think it’s because it’s right under the stitches for the septum surgery.

The bruising hasn’t started yet, so the good news is, when the monkeys get home from school, I should still look relatively normal except for the splints up my nose and the big gauze thing holding it all together.  I don’t want to scare them.

My parents came over this morning at 6:15, as it was an early surgery, and they said that the monkeys were phenomenal.  They missed me and were worried about me, but they were just model children.

School mornings aren’t their favorite time, but, as always, when we needed them to be great, they were.

Never underestimate kids.

But, I’m fine, in bed, got my Netflix movies and Real Man is an excellent caregiver.

I’m a lucky girl.

Not a particularly stylish girl today, but a lucky girl.

Nice Afternoon

I had a nice afternoon, today.

Okay, it didn’t start out so nice, but it ended well.

It started with  my visit to the ENT where she numbed my sinuses and then poked a scope with a videocamera on it up into my nostril until I felt it in the back of my throat. 

Twice.

Then, she stuck a foot long Q-tip up my nose until I could practically feel it behind my eye so she could send it to a lab.

Twice.

(Twice…you know, since I have two nostrils and all.)

Anyway, that lab will come back on Monday.  In the meantime, despite the fact that I just finished up 28 days of antibiotics on Monday, I’m now on a new antibiotic for the next three weeks, at the end of which I will have a CAT scan to see what’s going on with my sinuses.

Good times.  Good times.

However, after my appointment, I picked up my Monkey Girl and we went to the eyeglass store to pick up my new glasses.

I like ’em.  They are brown, tortoise-shell out the outside and pink on the inside. 

I feel fancy in them. 🙂

Anyway, after getting the glasses, Monkey Girl and I were walking down the sidewalk, which happens to pass the local diner and I said, “Hey…you wanna go in and share a plate of french fries?” (No comments, please, on the whole diabetics shouldn’t eat potatoes thing, please…I was bonding with my girl.)

You would have thought I told her she won the lottery.

We went inside, shared a plate of fries and just had some Mommy/Monkey girl talk.

It was just a nice treat for Monkey Girl and an extra nice treat for me. 

I love that girl so much…I don’t think she’ll ever understand how much.
