Received a message late last night that Ms. Lymetoo was out of surgery.

She had some minor bleeding, but was expected to leave to go home last night.

I'll keep you all updated as I hear anything.

Keep those prayers and positive thoughts coming.

Hugs,

Geneal

Only be the grace of my God and my husband am I able to get online today!!!! Long story, but we're having computer problems which are as yet not completely resolved.

Anyway.......I'm BAAAACK!! Doctor said my sinus problem LOOKED like a big fungal "plug." I know I also had staph and pseudomonas infections, so it will be interesting to see the results of the culture!

He said he got all kinds of cr** out of the sinuses. My words, not his! He just said it was "bad."

I was coughing my head off ever since coming to and my nurse/caregiver last night told me I was wheezing and/or had congestion in my bronchial tube. Great.

Hubby had to teach a class last night and then had to drive back (40 miles each way) to pick me up from my friend's house. He was there all through the surgery, thank goodness!

The roads were icy yesterday but we had no real trouble getting to the hospital.

well....
I'm off to see my greetings prior to surgery.... Thanks to everyone in advance. Just knowing that the greetings would be there today lifted me up!!

Let's hope the fungus is no longer among us..

Kind wishes for a speedy recovery! [group hug]

gayle,

GREAT seeing you back online in spite of your computer problems.!

Glad they got rid of all that crap in your sinuses! Yes, glad hubby was there for moral support for you too. [group hug]

can you believe all this snow we are having? really light, fluffy stuff, but we've got 8-12" now and it's still snowing now.

here's to a great recovery, and GENEAL; so glad you were contacted so we knew how Gayle did in surgery and afterwards! [group hug]

Hi lymetoo,

Sorry to hear about your surgery, but glad to here you are home and healing well. Sinuses are a necessary pain in the neck. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Hugs, Perplexed [group hug]

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Thanks, perplexed! I'm not doing very well today. I totally crashed.

Posted by Cassie (Member # 2106) on :

So sorry you are under the weather Tu-Tu. Get well soon. We are thinking of you [group hug]

Take care your friend Cassie [kiss]

Tutu, I am very glad that you made it thru ok..Take care and make sure you continue to take it easy and as I said earlier keep detoxing..You need to get rid of any left over junk and meds from surgery. Hugs. lmt

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Thanks cassie and lmt.

I'm a tad better today. I did find some detox tea and drank that last night. And I also began taking chlorella yesterday.

The tea nearly killed my liver last time, so I was afraid of taking it. But it was OK this time.

Now if the people in the apartment below and above would stop smoking so much I'd be doing much better!!

It almost smells like they are using a wood burning stove, but I don't think they could be!! It's awful!! [shake]

Lymetoo, my brother is a heavy smoker. When he moved into a apartment building, one lady was highly sensitive to cig smoke. She complained so much, the apartment complex moved my brother into another building, where cig smoking was acceptable.

Worth a try. If there is more buildings they could move you too. I would complain everyday. Especially sense you are disabled from a illness that cig smoke is harmful to those that do it and live in it with ill.

Dr C. has a write-up that says tobacco will not allow you to heal if you are around it. Right?

I'm going to call and complain Monday....but we ARE moving by the end of this month.

Thanks for the suggestions. It's driving me nuts.

Did you intend to write "Dr C" instead of his whole name??! [Big Grin]

Posted by map1131 (Member # 2022) on :

Well of course I intended. Sometimes what I intend to write and what is actually in print can be two different things. lol

It's now initials. I think? I'll check myself again.

TuTu, I had that problem at teh old apartments.

My neighbor at the new apartments is a big smoker, but it is not coming through the vents here.

Very nice.

Hopefully, the move will put the smoke behind you.
