Bad Timing

After seeing my ear nose and throat doc in Walla Walla this past Tuesday, I learned that my reoccurring sinus infection is fairly mild. The problem is, it's in a very bad spot. The majority of the infection lies in my frontal sinuses, making it very hard to go in and open things up. Things like my eyes and optical nerves are right near the infection. My specialist wants to refer me to a specialist should I opt to have the surgery. The thing is, in recent days my sinuses were miraculously clearing out for the first time in months. It was all smooth sailing until yesterday (Saturday) when I came down with a cold. Now I'm all full of nasty mucus. So, the last couple of days I've spent taking all kinds of things, included a prescription that my doc gave me. I'm a fighter and I'm going to hit this in all directions. I'm hoping with the combination of over the counter stuff and prescriptions I am taking, that I will keep clear enough from having any major problems.

In other news... I haven't really had this weekend off. Yesterday I was playing catch up with a service call and some computer upgrading for a friend. Today I am taking it easy, but I'm off again tomorrow on another service call. Hopefully I will get ahead of this madness.

On a much happier note, I've gotten several comments of my recent weight loss. So I know I am moving in the right direction. I've been forced to take a couple nights off from walking since the cold, but I'll be back at it in the next night or two.
