Like marks on a bedpost

By the way, the pic isn’t of my ankle. Look… I thought I would be able to get through the year relatively scot-free where it comes to surgeries… but luck wasn’t in my favor. Well I guess it would depend on if I go through with it or not. So I go to the foot and ankle specialist this morning. My right ankle/foot needed a bit more looking into since the prp session. Granted the…

May or may not

Originally posted 2022-01-31 09:00:25. Shop gifts for every occasion at Groupon So I saw the oculoplastic surgeon that performed my tear duct bypass. The swelling in my face and around my eye was minimal compared to the first few days. It’s like I did a stay at home/DIY ballooning of my sinuses 🤣. My momma had the balloon thing done a couple of times to her sinuses since she had chronic sinus issues. I haven’t…

Excuse my appearance

Originally posted 2022-01-27 07:30:29. I had my tear duct bypass surgery on January 11th. Everything went fine. I go to my follow up appointment this week and everything was going ok, or so I thought. I made sure to ask if I could take a normal shower and blow my nose. I haven’t been able to get water on the left side of my face nor blow my nose since surgery. The doc said I…

To doc with lube

Originally posted 2021-11-12 08:40:00. I had an appointment with an orthopedic doctor yesterday. This was for my shoulder/shoulder blade part of back/down my arm issue I wrote a post about. I had it in my mind this was just a muscle issue. I guess this also kind of explains why everything I’ve tried to use to ease the pain didn’t 100% work. I went by myself since I didn’t think this appointment was going to…

How the hell did I do that?

Originally posted 2021-10-06 19:46:51. Yesterday morning I woke up in extreme pain. The pain was in the right part of my upper back that seemed to radiate thru to the front of my chest. It also went all the way down my arm into my fingers. I couldn’t lay down and get comfortable. The pain seemed to increase in intensity after 30 to 60 seconds. I tried to describe it to my husband as well…

Repetitious

Originally posted 2021-09-18 09:00:22. The past month has been a bunch of repeats. Over and over I go. It’s been my husband, myself, my son, my best friend and the dogs. Each of us has had at least one appointment. To tell you the truth it has been more than just one. From my laser hair removal to massage therapy. To pain management to ear, nose, and throat specialist. Then our normal primary doctor’s appointments.…

Early Morning Emergency

Originally posted 2021-08-06 15:28:02. Early yesterday morning I woke to my husband wailing in pain. He said it hurt in his upper abdomen. Every few minutes the sounds of gagging almost throwing up became constant. My husband isn’t the “I’m in pain” type. He is normally the “I’m good” type. He asked me if we had any pepto-bismol, which we did. We got it out got a spoon and he took some. We waited. He…
