It’s Monday night, you know what that means!!! WWE Monday Night Raw! My favorite night of the week! Ha ha. It must be pretty bad when your nurses stay clear of your room during Monday night raw. Have to get my wrestling fix for the week. Ha ha. Today almost marks day 13 almost complete! Whoop whoop! Wish I could blog tonight and say we are home bound tomorrow, but looks like I’m headed for sinus surgery tomorrow morning, 9:15 will be go time! The plan will be to take me to surgery, clean out my sinuses and then bring me back to my room. If everything goes well I will be able to go home on Wednesday. Still will have to do one iv at home for seven days but I’m okay with that. I’ve missed my dogs and my bed!!
My white count finally went down to 14. That’s a lot better than 23! Hopefully after surgery this will help alleviate further infections! I do feel better but still not back to baseline. I will get there though! Not giving up! I was doing therapy this afternoon and thinking back how bad I was 14 days ago. Man I was struggling and scared! I hope it’s a while before that ever happens again!
We had a nice super bowl party in room 224 yesterday! A good friend of ours works in maintenance Larry Wilkens wheeled a big screen tv into my room. Kind of funny other patients would walk by wondering who I was and where I got the tv! My mom made ribs, baked beans, potato bacon and snow pea salad, veggie trays, strawberries and home made Rice Krispie treats. Needless to say I made a pig of myself! Home cooked food never tasted so good! Nurses and doctors would pop in periodically to check on the game. We had some good laughs! Good memories for sure!
Well since tomorrow is going to be an early morning I’m off to have a snack (since I can’t eat after midnight) and then therapy time. Hopefully I can get a few hours of sleep. Not too nervous for surgery just worried about my lungs. This will be my 6th sinus surgery. So here we go!
Hope everyone had a good Monday!
Until next time…..
