The big day.

So yesterday was the big day! I have has sinus problems and throat problems for as long as I can remember. Starts out w an allergy attack then turns into a sinus infection and that is usually followed by white junk on my tonsils and then I have to go in and get two shots in my hips and whole round of antibiotics and steroids. So after this has been happening , like every other month. Matt made me go to an ENT. IT is just not good to be on all those meds so frequently. 

 Dr. James is awesome and he scoped up my nose and saw a deviated septum and some done spurs and blocked sinus passages. So he then ordered a CT scan of my sinuses. And wouldnt you know... I have had a permanent sinus infection for forever! In the CT, we could actually see the bubbles from the  bacteria breeding in there, so gross!! Plus all the layers of infection. Double gross!

Which explained alot, like why I have sinus infections every other month and why I am tired alot. It actually made me feel better bc despite the fact that I have 2 boys a year apart, I am just so freaking tired all the time.

 And part of it is bc my body is fighting an infection ALL the time. And this awesome doc said he can fix me! We talked about taking my tonsils out but then the doc said it was so painful that once we get my sinus's fixed it will probably fix the tonsils too... But all I could think about was. If it doesn't? I would have to go under again. So we talked again and we decided to take the tonsils out too. 

So yesterday morning he went in and fixed my deviated septum, shaved the bone spur, cleared out all infection and took my tonsils out and good thing he did bc he said they were so infected and inflamed! Yikes. So now I am pretty sure I am dying! I can't breath out of my nose so I have to breath out my mouth and that dries up all those nasty scabs! As much as this hurts and sucks, I had another sinus infection the week b4 the surgery, which just made me want it done even more! I am trying to keep my eye on the prize, no more sick and more energy! They say it will be a 3 week recovery time but there is no way that can happen. My mom is wrangling the boys, we will see how long she last. but she is def a life saver. The ward and friends are helping too.  Matt has bee awesome, between work and me and kids, he may not survive either ;)  and on top of everything... Q has an ear infection! Fingered crossed we all feel better soon!

Last picture of a smile for a little while i think.

All i could think about is "Crap what did we do?"

So. Much, Pain.
