.....wife of Darren Clarke (PGA) who died peacefully in her sleep 2.19am after a courageous battle with breast cancer,aged, just 39. My thoughts and prayers go to Darren and their children , Tyrone and Connor.
Groucho: You are very welcome!! I have had no idea of you being in hospital... :-( Since its about a week later: how are you doing now and what is 'packing'?
God bless you real good and may He heal you completely!!! amen
As today is the day of my birth and you can't be with me, I want to send you both ALL my Love & ALL my Thanks, for if it were not for the union of two such wonderful people once upon a time, I would not be me.....I LOVE YOU BOTH for all eternity.....Thank You Always for making me, raising me, and loving me...I feel very blessed for having known you...
Radiant Aunt: It's been a week and the last few days have been rough. Hard to explain but there is currently little drainage due to the packing and so it's like having the flu. I see the doc tomorrow and as I understand it, they will remove the packing and that should help a lot with the pain. ;)
Groucho: Awwwwwwwww, keeop ya chin up darling, and try not to fret. Jess was at drama school for 5 years, and had numerous disctinctions with the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, that has all gone now, as the poor lamb speaks as though she has a peg on her nose, another 2 years of this :o(
Ok, I'm back to feeling miserable. And now trouble sleeping. What's up? The first few days I'm doing well and I feel yuckky all over. lol, now when I'm feeling a bi tmore energy, I'm totally stuffed and now can't sleep. hehehe Doc gave me a few pills to help with that though.
The mind is a strange thing. Two different days, same problems, one day it's not a bother and the next day I can't sleep and am all anxious.
On a bright note, my music teacher friend told me that I'd probably be a better singer as my facial cavities will be totatlly clear and my resonation will improve. heheheh I'll record a song and post it and you all can vote. ;)
WatfordFC: That must be rough. I've fought the chronic stuff for over a year and it is frustrating. But I didn't have it that bad. My anitibiotics did help with the symptoms. I feel for her!
WatfordFC: I've heard that a procedure like that is so helpful. I've been reading about sinus surgery and didn't know until yesterday that most kids can't have the surgery because they are still growing etc. That must be tough dealing with the constant infections. That was my problem as the draining stopped for me due to other factors. I have packing in my sinus's now so I can only breathe out the nose, but it will heal in about a week. Depending on the serverity of the problem, full recovery can take up to sixty days. Tell Jessica to hang in there!
Groucho: Jessica has had secondary nasal infections since she was 5. She has had her adenoids removed, and the small inner tube burnt, but still nothing. Because of her age (13) they cant operate now until she is 15, because her facial bones and nose are still forming. At 15 they will be breaking the cartliage (sp) in both nostrils and also the bridge of her nose, to widen it. What happens, when she has a common cold, the mucous does not release itself , thus it collects and gets infected.
Thank you very much. His small op that he had on Monday is clear. Those results will now go to his surgeon who will be operating on his aorta. We are just hoping that he gets a date pretty quick, we all want it over and done with now.
Groucho: Sinus infections hurt, really badly. Good that you have completed the surgery. I think now that you will get progressively better. Good health to you.!
srnity: Thanks. I haven't felt well in over a year and it's all due to these constant sinus infections. I've been researching the procedure and it's very promising. It's not 100% but about 90% success at some level (most very good results). Thanks for the words!
WatfordFC: What a week you are having...Came to let you know that you and your mum are in my prayers today & now that I'm reading all this, your dad too...Only good thoughts & great times, past, present and future...Take Good Care of You too
Dolittle: Thanks. Drugs make me a bit dizzy (more than normal ;) and sick to my stomach now. Not sure why as I felt better earlier. Not liking that. But my right side is totally open. I can breath! Left side swollen shut. The right may do that too but it's all temporary. Medicine is amzazing, what they can do. They go up the nose with a little camera and a light and a scraper. yuck. No pain, no gain I guess. ;)
volant: Thanks. Am home now. Surgery went very well. Was a bit rough coming out of the anesthesia but so far I'm doing well. The pain drug works well so that's a God send. This will help my overall health so much. I've been sick for well over a year. I've heard nothing but good about this procedure.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. My wife says I look like I got run over by a mac truck but I don't feel that way at all. I suppose the Hydrocodone and APAP has something to do with that.
Groucho: May you feel a thousand times better soon. WatfordFC wishing all the best for your dad and keeping him and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Groucho:Take care Mr.Groucho and know that things will be better once you are healed! You will be in my thoughts and prayers as will Watford's Dad! You guys get well and stay that way!!
Groucho: My dad goes into hospital tomorrow too, having an endoscopy before having major surgery on 2 anurisms that are in his aorta. Take care Groucho,. i am sure all will go well
ScarletRose: Thanks. A bit nervious but have heard only good things from people who have had the surgery. And my ENT (ear nose throat) specialist is one of the best around. She knows her stuff. ;)
Not major, just day surgery and about two hours of recovery then home. Sinus problems for years and a huge battle with it for 18 months. ;) Full recovery takes about a week. Mostly that's just cuz ya feel pretty yucky. A speedy recovery would be nice ;)
