I'm set up for surgery



Well, I was just going to let you know that I'm going under Thursday the 23rd at 9:00am. Kind of stressful, they said not to worry if the hospital didn't call til tuesday, well wednesday at four I still hadn't heard so I called the doctor's office and they gave me the hospital's number. So I called them and they said i wasn't on the list, so they would call me back. So they called and told me they fitted me in. So that's the update on that. Well, I'll have lots of time on my hands, that's for sure.

So a little humor--i was telling my boss that I have infection in my cheeks and I said, "just so you know, I'm not fat, my cheeks are infected." and she relies by saying, "i'm not fat, my bum is infected." Anyways, so that is like the new joke I tell people, I thought it was funny, hope you do too. Anyways....
So my nurse is goign to be T'naya--she's three and lives upstairs. She has already been practicing her nurse tactics on me. So hilarious. She shakes her little finger and says "don't do that alicia, traven will." That's her brother who is four. So adorable. But Drenda, my sister in law is going to take me down and wait the four to five hours for me. But I think I gots a good support group. . . they all are askign me to call them and I'm thinking, I don't think you'll be able to understand me or I'll be coherant enough. . .but it'll be a blessing for sure.

I am a little worried about what I say when I'm knock out--well since they will be working on my face, I probably won't have to worry too much about what I say...it could be interesting...I'll make sure they tell me so I can report on it.

Well, I'm going to head out...take a nice warm shower and chug some water before I'm on the operating table. Thank you for your prayers. You are teh best...take care and I love you so much.

uDaTe As Of ApRiL 14tH

So...You have probably been dying to know what is going on with me. I went this morning to get my CT scan for my endoscopic sinus surgery. I took the results to the doctor and he scheduled the surgery. I have a deviated secturm, polyups to remove, infection in my checks that should diminish after the surgery. Along with this, he's going to take my tonsils out and shorten my uvula. So I'll be out from work for at least 2 weeks. He said the sinus surgery won't bother me at all, it'll be the tonsils and uvula that causes the pain. Oh boy, I'm so excited. NOT, but am. . .He said that my headaches should be small if any because now they are being caused by the infection in my checks and not being able to breathe. Also, my snoring will be minimuzed and I'll be able to breathe in my sleep instead of my uvula rattling away in my swollen throat. A cure for my sleep apnea too. Crazy.

So if any of you remember me having rhinorhea?!? Defintion is as follows, Rhinorrhea, commonly known as a runny nose, consists of an unusually significant amount of nasal discharge. It is a symptom of the common cold and of allergies (hay fever). The term comes from the Greek words "rhinos" meaning "of the nose" and "rhoia" meaning "a flowing." Rhinorrhea can also be a sign of withdrawal, such as from opioids (especially methadone).[1] Symptoms display circadian rhythms.[2]
David's wedding me losing my voice and the doctore saying I was allergic to Kansas.

Well, it is all fitting together that it is related to 8 years ago to my current conditions. Weird, huh? Anyways, that's the DL from me. Oh yeah, my surgery is Thursday April 23rd. So yeah there you go. Any questions?
