Quick Surgery/Health Update

Hello! I know it's been a bit since I posted....life has continued to be absolutely crazy over here, but it is what God has ordained and therefore it is good and He will carry us through it all! I just wanted to get on real quick and give you all an update on potential surgery info. I went to UAB and saw my sinus ENT today--they scoped and suctioned me out real good as my sinuses have (for obvious reasons) continued to be bad. They even pulled out the good ole "inside cheek above your teeth scraper" attatchment that is SO painful...but he got a ton of stuff out. A friend from church, Hannah P, drove me today, and she said, afterwards, "You should have seen my face when he pulled that stuff out!" Guess it puts what is "normal" for me into perspective lol....long story short, I thought my sinus surgery was just going to be a simple clean out, but he showed me my CT scan and he is going to be removing some bone and potentiallly drilling out some other things....so it's gonna be a much bigger bummer than I anticipated and I already despise sinus surgeries-----the two I have to have are my absolute least favorite, most difficult immediate recoveries of all my 40 plus surgeries....it's not the pain but the constant throwing up for the first 24 hours after......and there will be more bleeding from my sinuses which contributes to the throwing up cause it goes down the back of your throat so yeah, not great news there.............Then I went to the new OB and the Nurse Practicioner came in and they didn't really know what to expect cause the referral was from my PCP just to get me worked in. With all that's been going on the last couple of weeks here, I didn't think about getting my records from my hysterectomy and my recent ultrasound for them. We chatted and I brought them up to date as far as my understanding and it turns out there is an additional issue that was found. I'm thankful it was figured out and there may be a treatment for it but I'm not sure I can do it with my medication issues so we'll see about that one. As far as the endometriosis, they were a little confused since you can't see adhesions on an ultrasound (which I knew) so they were wondering how they could tell it was back but I think it was a combination of my surgical history and the increasing pain and something with my ovary they could see on the ultrasound. I really liked the doc and the nurse practicioner--I didn't know which doctor it was going to be because they worked me in, but it was one that I wanted after looking on the website at the doctors, so I'm very thankful to God for that. I signed the records release so they are waiting on those--my ENT said he was willing to come in on an off day to coordinate the operating room stuff and both parties are willing to do what's best for me to support my lungs through the surgery......The ENT did take another culture while they were cleaning things out so we'll have an update of what exactly is going on in the sinuses. It was a long day after being up late for Bible study so I'm gonna sign off for now, but wanted to at least let you all know kind of where we are at in the process...still kind of waiting for things to come together. We have 17 days until our vacation to the Smoky Mountains and Dollywood and I'm SUPER excited about that...it will be a much needed rest time and making some great memories. Hannah and I had a sweet time today together--she will be going to help our missionaries in Chad, Africa in June so it was special to have some time with her--soaking it all up before she goes for a year! We will miss her, but we are excited to see how God is going to use her! Here's a couple pics from our day :) The pictures in the office were so pretty and then we ate at Firehouse Subs and decided to be silly to send pics to our brothers...her brother is finishing up fire academy and my brother is a firefighter. :)
