He says that once I heal, my nose will be great!! However.....a couple of my stitches came out too soon and I have a small open area in my nose........GEEZ, can't win here!! Anyway, I have to put anti-biotic cream in my nose 3 times a day for 2 weeks and then go back to see him. He says it should be ok by then. As far as dh, he has to make an appointment with his doctor at UW in Seattle, the one that did his reconstructive jaw surgery 4 years ago. It seems the bone around his jaw plate (titanium) is deteriating...GIVE US A BREAK!!! The doctor at UW (University Washington Cancer Center) will determine if Gary needs surgery to stimulate bone growth, whatever that intails. Back problem...that is a bit better today, he went to work. Oh, want to hear one more complaint....I'm having sharp pains in my ovary area...YEP, more good news. I have quite a history with female problems and surgeries, so this is NOT a good thing. However, one thing at a time, so let's get the nose healed first. Gabby (still smiling...hee-hee)

Hi Gabby, I'm sitting hear complaining that I can't get the curls in my hair to go exactly where I want them to go. LOL You have a great outlook on life and I admire that. We don't have any pressing medical problems(thank goodness), but other problems that make me want to say, "Why me?", keep my stomach in knots everyday. So maybe some of your positive thinking will rub off on me. Thanks!

Gabby sometimes it does seem one cannot win. I sure hope that your nose heals like it should and that Gary will not have to have surgery on that chin again. Glad to hear his back is feeling better today.

Yep one day at a time that is the way I am taking things.

Love ya

Mary

You're right, Gabby, one thing at a time. Sounds like the nose is coming along well, even with that little setback. Hope your dh gets good news in Seattle. But at least, if things are beginning to deteriorate, they can catch it fast and have a better chance of doing something about it. Hope you have a great day in spite of the tweaks and twinges.

Gabby, seems like feast or famine with these

temporary health issues. I love the saying

"And it came to pass, but not to stay" lol,

as the good thing is these problems will

go away one by one.

Still, it takes strength and a sound

mind to "walk through this valley",

and I'll be sure to pray for

God to hold your hands as you do.

He always makes the time there go faster.

Keep us posted...we always care

love, Cindy

p.s. my whole life has been a breeze healthwise,

so does that mean I might get hit all at once

5 years from now? Yikes!! and you can be sure

I will make His Angels camp next to me, lol.


~*~ Aloha to all .... ~*~

That's why he has constant check-ups, gotta keep a close eye on things, as you know. Thanks! Hugs, Gabby

Just don't lose that smile. I hope that your DH tests come back ok. As long as things get better every day - even just a little bit. Your nose is on its way and Gary's back is a little better too. That's good news. You are right though. Just one day at a time.

Hugs
