Really both doctors, my personal care physician and oral surgeon, granted me permission today. My personal care physician's office called with lab report and permission to carry on…that labs were status quo so same ol', same 'ol. When I saw my oral surgeon today, he said that there was still a hole, but that tissue around it had healed nicely and he granted me permission to blow my nose, use a straw, etc. He did say that it was going to feel strange when I do blow my nose. I guess my allergies heard what he said, as I have had what I call an allergy breakthrough this evening. My eyes started itching, my nose started running, and I started sneezing! And, though, I was glad to have permission to blow my nose..it is a weird sensation to blow it with this hole in my sinus wall. The oral surgeon did talk about possible surgery to fix this hole. I will go back at the end of June and we will decide if it looks like it will be necessary. He said that he has had patients have the hole heal on its own…but that it has taken six months or more. He also said that if I choose surgery that it could mean more than one, because in the healing process a place can reopen. Not thinking about this at the moment! He did tell me to forget about it now and enjoy my company and my cruise!
Once today's oral surgeon appointment was completed, the way is pretty much clear for me to concentrate on getting ready for company and the cruise. My pharmacy called to let me know that they didn’t have enough of one of my meds, but that it should be here after 3pm. Since I had them on the phone, I asked about getting three small prescription bottles with labels on them so I can put two weeks worth in…these three month bottles are so big! My doctor said that I needed to have my meds in their prescription labeled bottles. So this is an answer. The pharmacy did that for me…so this afternoon, I put two weeks worth in the small bottles and have taken them upstairs with other things to take. Something done for my packing!
I took a break a while ago and called Cheryl…I HAVE to start bugging her about whether she is packed yet or not!
Tonight's photo (not the best picture…but I wanted to blog and not mess with camera settings!) shows the tiny cross stitch pillows that I finished yesterday. Today I have pulled out patriotic and summer decorations to put around in the living room…hopefully I will get that done tomorrow.
To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
