Today I presented myself to my Ear, Nose and Throat specialist for another sinus procedure. To scrape any scar tissue and clean whatever needed to be cleaned up from the surgery several weeks ago.
That means that a deadening agent is sprayed into my sinuses which deadens most of it. (Including my tongue) Then scopes are used to see what needs to be done. The process is fairly ... Well uncomfortable and sometimes downright painful.
Everything went well, he was pleased with how things were healing and finally pronounced that he would see me in three months. I just about did a happy dance at that point. Lucky for him that I restrained myself. He had also received the report from the OHSU Immunologist from yesterday's appointment and had taken the time to read through everything.
I am truly blessed by doctors who care. Much of the forward progress has been because my ENT has gone to bat for me, searching for solutions when the easy path does not work. I wish I could express my appreciation and gratitude adequately for everything he has done. I think I will have to think about that and what I might be able to come up with.
So tonight I am grateful for what has been done and headachy from the procedure. That is not too bad a place to find myself.
Just Connie
