I am getting better little by little and gaining strength. I went back to the doctor yesterday and still no lifting over 5#, stooping or bending. I am still having issues with bleeding. I even drove the hour to the doctors (my Mom went too). I am feeling better but the junk coming from my nose is nasty and after the suctioning and spraying out at the doctor yesterday day....yuck! He was even digging in there with super long tweezers! Just saying. I go back in two weeks to the doctor. I also am rinsing my sinuses with salt water twice daily. It burns!!!!! Then I am using the saline spray every thirty minutes or so while awake. I am still taking one antibiotic and have two weeks of it left.I also now have a yeast infection....I did Diflucam today......hope it works!
Now, onto bigger things, more important anyhow......my Daddy is sick, stroke level sick. Last year some of you may remember that he was having severe pains in the head(August or September), which resulted in a neurosurgeon getting involved and we thought for awhile he had a brain tumor only to find out the spot on the brain was scar tissue from a stroke. Well, the pains started again last night and got so bad this morning Mom took him to Birmingham to the er. No stroke showed up on the brain scan. His blood pressure was 180/90 and he is already on 2 bp meds. Not good. The doc seemed to think he has been under too much stress and gave him pain pills. They released him. He already had an appointment with the neuro doc this coming Tuesday......now I hope he will keep it!
Please pray for him........the pain is horrendous! He is so uncomfortable and it leaves his head tender and his cheek with a burning sensation......
Thank you for your prayers and I will keep you posted.
Have a blessed weekend!

Praying for you and your daddy, sweet sister! I hope your husband has had enough work to meet your needs and that you have care for the boys while you heal. Sounds as if your mom is now needed with your dad. If only we weren't sick (jacob has strep/kyle was negative but has sore throat) I would offer to help!
Marva, I am so sorry everything is so difficult right now.
Does the doctor say this is expected? - (your doc.)
Are the pain meds helping your dad?
Praying for you and your dad my sweet friend! Hugs to you!
Sending prayers fro your dad and for you.
Sorry you're sick. I will pray for you and your father! Blessings!
You've been on my mind so much the last few days. I've just been figuring it's God's way of saying I need to put in some extra prayers for you. We'll pray for your daddy as well.
