DEFINITELY fluid! Not a good time to weigh. The discomfort will pass but the first few days are quite uncomfortable. I think I didn't focus on it much other than the headache because I had a tummy tuck at the same time so I noticed that discomfort more.

Beautiful obit DD. You can tell it was written by an English teacher. Good on you for letting your brother rest after the all night thing. Let the funeral director earn their money by much planning. Thinking of you. ds

205!!!! ACK! I'm going to guess it's fluid retention because I've eaten very little the past two days.
Recovery continues. Discomfort level is far more intense than I expected. So, with doc's encouragement, I'm staying in front of the pain. I don't believe I've ever taken this med before. It doesn't really 100% kill the pain, but it does lessen it and the buzz is pretty fun!
My ears are very swollen and quite sore. I was not expecting that.
No regrets whatsoever, but I'll be happy when I'm over this discomfort hump...

I'm telling you, the battery powered sinus irrigator is life giving! I don't want to think about how long it would take for this gunk to drain on its own. It's a morning staple now until I stop producing the gunk...
By nighttime, I'm wiped out and feeling crappy again, but in the morning, post sinus irrigation, I feel pretty good. Late this afternoon I have a much delayed hair appointment. Given it's day 11 post onset, I don't think I'm contagious, but I still sound sick.
I got a text that the contractors who worked on my kitchen have procured a slab of dark purple flagstone to replace the column cap that has crumbled along my front walkway. It's 4' square and 3 inches thick and apparently weighs over 750 pounds, so they are having to get creative for how they get it installed. But I love these guys!! They do what they say they're going to do instead of sounding agreeable and then forgetting about me like the 5 other stone people I've talked to.
The Christmas decorations have not magically jumped back into the storage room unfortunately. We'll see if any elves show up for work today.
Take care all!

The sinus infection I had while up north is still draining. Maybe I got something else on top of that when we got home (we have been back for 11 days now). I felt a bit drained yesterday. Hopefully energy will return today.
I went to the golf clinic yesterday and learned a lot. I really should practice it so I don't forget. The second half of the golf clinic is this morning.
We leave at 12:30 to pick DS up in Orlando. Which reminds me that I need to check the status of the flight flying there which will turn around to come back.
Before the clinic, I need to do an early Justice walk then get a shower. Unfortunately the hair must be washed today (I usually don't before putting a golf hat on). I guess I will wear a visor. No time to feel draggy today.
Have a fruitful Friday!

I have started to wonder if it will be difficult to get a new prescription at only a maintenance level. Hopefully my new doctor will be okay with that.

Wonderful quote. My Mom was a rather nasty alcoholic for more than 30 years beginning when I was 14. Though the later years with her were good our relationship was never the close mother/daughter one that many of my friends had. That quote applies well to my mother too.
A lot to do, but that can be helpful in this stage.
I have been wondering how your Dad will manage alone. I'm sure you are all thinking about that too.

These illnesses do seem to drag along don't they? Maybe we will all be illness free the rest of the winter once we get over them.
