My surgery and the nose bra

I had a surgery done on my sinuses last Thursday. I had it done because I was always sick with an un-curable sinus infection and I had headaches constatnly from all the pressure. It was really hard to get out of bed in the morning and I was always exhausted. A Dr. brought it to my attention shortly after I had Caiden and I took 4 different anti-biotics since then but nothing worked. I'm pretty sure I have had sinus infections for longer than the past 9 months, i just didn't realize it. I was just used to the pain and the exhaustion. So, I got it done and I thought the recovery would be a lot quicker, but 8 days later and I feel like junk still. The first 4 days were definitly a lot worse but Chris took care of the kids so it worked out. But now I have full responsibility since Chris had to go to Texas for work. So what do I feel like? Pounding headaches, swollen sinuses, dizzy like you wouldn't believe, and NO patience for whiney children. Life isn't too fun right now. I'm perfectly happy, just in pain and waiting for the next month to pass so i can feel like a new woman. It was such a blessing though that my sister Amy came for a friends wedding the day after Chris Left so she has been a huge help. Also, Jessica is moving back to Utah to Life gaurd at seven peaks again this summer so she will be here soon to help out as well. Its hard not having our parents nearby when things like this happen, but I am sooooo thankful for my sisters. I went to a check up today and the Dr. said that the way I am feeling is totally normal and it will just take about 3 more weeks to feel great, or at least good.

On a happier note... this is the "nose bra" I had to wear for a couple of days after the surgery. It held the gauze that caught the blood from my nose. Addysin has no idea how dorky that thing actually is. She is the one that came up with the idea to put it on, not me! Kids love to do what the grown ups are doing, even if its strange.
