ENT Follow Up

I went Friday for my follow up MRI it took about an hour and then they gave me a copy of it to take to my ENT to look at. Rob and I opened it and looked at it over the weekend (like we can read it ) and I still do have my brains or something resembling them anyways.
We went to see grandpa on the way to mom and dad's since I haven't seen him in awhile and had a nice visit. Chesney was trying to eat the dead mouse carcass in the yard, crazy dog. Got to mom and dad's around 6pm on Sunday night and got to see my babies (at least 3 of them) So with the great weather and all of that it was a beautiful day.

I have been having some aches and shooting pains of my back and upper arms for the last week and dizziness. (Rob says I've had that for a long time.) I am not sure what that is from but we are working on it. I saw Dr. Allphin today, he said my tube is still in place, he then stuck that long camera up my nose and into the back of my sinuses and throat ( he made me sing) and said he thought everything looked good. There is still a lot of raw areas with scabs back there and thickening which looks like scar tissue. He then reviewed the MRI's and said about the same thing, there were a few places he was interested in what the Radiologist had to say about, but he really felt it was all scar or normal variables. So I called the MRI center to see if I could get the MRI, which they would not fax I had to pick up or have it mailed to me. (thanks federal government.) So we are waiting for that to be mailed to really get a final reading. But he was so pleased I do not have to go back to him for 3 Months. I am actually interested in the report myself, hard to trust those radiologists though.

It is an amazingly beautiful day and so far Great news. We had a wonderful drive home and then spent the rest of the day at work trying to clean off my desk. Then home to ice my back and rest up for tomorrow.


Please-go out and enjoy some of this weather!

Easter weekend

Love the holidays that celebrate our Lord Jesus Christ!! Had a great weekend at home with my family. It was absolutely beautiful outside and I stayed outside pretty much all weekend. So refreshing. However, I am still learning, I forgot to put SPF on and my chin and Neck got a little burned. Rob noticed and went and got my SPF and put it on me. Thank you hunny (I think he just wanted to spray stuff in my face). Just kiddin.... Went to the parade and picnic where a wonderful Chef made the absolutely BEST hot dogs around. So good I could kinda taste them - enough I actually ate 2 -Can you believe that!! Mom surprised me with a massage and it was Awesome, Just what the doctor ordered. I was having some aches and pains develop and it really helped alleviate them. Which was perfect for starting off my weekend. Then we hunted eggs, and flew kites and rode in little corvettes. It was lots of fun.

Back to reality now. My follow up MRI is scheduled for 6:15 am Friday morning and I will then take a copy of that to my ENT in springfield for my Appt at 7:30 am on Monday. Rob is not very happy with me for making appointments so early in the morning. Sorry again hunny.

So hopefully we will have some more good news on monday and then I follow up again with the Radiation Oncologist in about a month. So I will try to update you after my appointment on monday.

Hope your Easter was as Perfect as mine.

First week of Spring

Well things are slowly getting better. I have been eating out a little bit more, because it seems things with salt have a little taste to it. Which is very encouraging. I have been trying to increase my walking, but this seems to be draining me for the next day so I have backed off this a little. It is so nice though I want to be out. Chesney and I are sitting out on the front porch a lot. The problem with exercise is if I do it that means I have to eat more and that presents a bit of trouble. Another reason to eat out. There are a lot of calories packed in that food. My heart may fail from all the grease and salt, but hey i will maintain my weight. I am also still getting the blisters in my mouth, but other than that I feel Really Great!!

So Every on please have a wonderful Easter with your families!!!
