I won't pretend this post is anything but a whine session . . . pity party . . . poor me . . . whatever you want to call it.
As most of you know I had sinus surgery last week and today I had the packing removed (so I no longer look like the Frito Bandito! LOL!) Anyway, it hurt a ridiculous amount . . . to the point I was in tears, which I wasn't expecting. I found out the reason it hurt so is because it apparently is not healing correctly and I have a hematoma and now have to go back in tomorrow morning and have it fixed surgically.
I really hate being "down" and had tried to plan this time to be as non-interfering with life as I could, but unfortunately now this will be adding at least another week to the recovery. So I have to postpone my first sale at my new "warehouse", and it will mess up other family plans.
I know in the scheme of life, this is a small matter, but right now I can't seem to see beyond my own nose (yes, pun intended!)
Can I have some cheese and crackers to go with my whine? . . .

Thanks Michelle,
It was so good to visit with you. No my best on "hospitality" since I was still kind of laying around, but it was such a nice visit. The Iris's are gorgeous and the kids and my husband have LOVED the cookies! I have mananged to snitch one from their "grubby little paws" and they are delicious! Thanks again for the kind visit. It lifted my spirits tremendously!
Hugs & blessings,
Brenda

Brenda, Thanks for the lovely visit. You are such a joy to talk with. So comfortable, so graceful (even if you don't feel your best, you made me feel wonderfully happy and at home)... You have given me so much to smile about. 100% Farmgal Goodness! I hope you continue to feel better and better. 
We make a difference. |

That is such a painful and traumatic surgery to undergo. Even if you hadn't had to go back for the second round, you are very welcome to whine! Ouch! Just thinking about it is hurting me!

I'm a veteran of sinus surgery too. The removal of packing, according to me and to all the people I have talked to, always hurts like Hades even at its best. Splints hurt like Hades too, just more briefly. Recommendation is to take your pain meds before you go and have someone else drive you. Sinus surgery changed my life for the better, and I hope it does for you, too!!!

Thanks everyone. The second surgery went fine, though I feel like I layed my face down on a railroad track! I mostly have been sleeping the last couple days . . . the pain meds are truly a blessing. Having been intubated twice within a week, my throat has been really sore too, but is getting better. I do look much better now though . . . the "frito bandito" mustache is gone and the "straws" (splints) up my nose don't show, so at a glance I look almost normal! Your love and prayers have been so appreciated.
Hugs & blessings . . .

Goodness Brenda,
What a major bummer. Sure do understand about the disappointment and dealing with the challenges of changes you were not expecting. I moved a mirror, a big mirror the first of March and just now am able to do a few things. I still love where my mirror is in my bedroom. LOL.
Will be praying, let me know if there is anything I can do.
Just think of the sale this way, you will be able to let more people know and have a much better sale.

Thanks Girls,
You are all so sweet. I am missing my son's 8th grade graduation as we speak . . . he was very understanding about it, but as a mom you want to be there for all the milestones. Can't sit at the computer very long, but I love to check in with you all. This forum is such a blessing to me. Michelle, you are so sweet! Email me and we can figure out if this works for you. I don't want you to be inconvenienced in any way. Blessings to each of you!

Oh, Brenda! I'm so very very sorry. I really admire your humor. Wish there was something I could do to help out...Maybe this weekend I can drop off a care package for you...It would be no trouble and would make me so happy to do...

Brenda My daughter said having the packing removed was like "having her brains pulled out through her nose" and that was without a hematoma so that must have been brutal. They give you those pain meds for a reason. Hope the recall goes well.

Brenda, my sincere sympathies to you. I've never had sinus surgery, but I regularly get sinus headaches, so I can commiserate. Prayers for a smooth fix. Judy

Hi Brenda-
I am so sorry to hear that you have to have another surgery! I know that sinus surgeries are not fun! I know your grand opening will be spectacular no matter when you do it, but sometimes you just want plans to go as scheduled! Sometimes it isn't that the plans have to be put off, but the disappointment, right?
I hope your family things can be rescheduled as well! And I am sure after a while, the sinus surgeries will be worth it! I know my mom can suffer from horrible sinus pain, so if yours was any thing like hers, it should help!

Oh , Brenda!! I'm so sorry, I bet you're feeling very discouraged right now. I think If I was told I had to go back in for surgery again, I'd have a big pity party for myself too. Just know we're thinking of you and praying for you!
Blessings
