UPDATE: I took my first breath of air through both nostrils after 2 years....I started crying after the doc's assistant got all my stuff removed, was such a huge relief....she thought she hurt me and was apologizing, Jim said no, I think these are tears of happiness and boy was he right.
I am stuffing up right now but she told me I still have significant swelling so to expect the stuffy clogged feeling until it is gone....guess what, I can wait! Thank you for taking this journey with me....this pic was taken tonight, what a difference a week makes, huh?
Dearest friends.....I go today at 10 AM to hopefully get my cast and inner splints removed, as well as my ear stitches. I am so hoping all this hardware removal will relieve this constant pressure I have.....my eyes are constantly watering, which makes it difficult to do any computer work, so even if I felt up to it, I can't see beyond the tearingš¢....so am hoping today is the day I start to get relief........thanks for your prayers and giving me a place to vent...much love ā¤
