Well the sinus balloon surgery is done. It was not as painful as I thought it would be but it was odd to hear tiny bones cracking. I also got a different type of tube in my ear drum that will hopefully stay in longer. My doctor is great! I did already notice a difference when I went to work. Smells are different. I have a follow up appt. next Thursday.
So I end the year very hopeful that 2015 will have less illness.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,500 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 25 trips to carry that many people.
So I went to my ENT doctor this morning & what a surprise, I still have sinus infections that showed on the CT Scan. I will go back tomorrow morning at 7;15am to have a Balloon procedure that will open the nasal pathways & he will inject antibiotics directly into the area. I will also have the tube put back in my ear drum. Praying this will fix my sinus problems for a long time which will hopefully help my Meneire’s.
Well it has been amazing time for me physically & spiritually. My Meniere’s Disease seems to be so controlled that the ringing in the left ear is a lot less. Fellow Christians have told me many times that no matter what you are going through, give it to God & he will take care of it. Now that can be a very hard but easy thing to do. There have been many times instantly I wanted to get mad at the disease. But right away I pray for God to give me strength. Each day can be a challenge because after all we are human & the flesh tends to react for us. But remember that God does hear your prayers & is always fighting for you, more than you can ever imagine.
Then on Sunday December 7,2014 I was Baptized in the Atlantic Ocean. One may think I was nuts to pick the cold time of year. I live in Florida so I read the water was about 75° with the air being 67° & it was really windy. But when God speaks to you, you don’t question it. When the water first touched my feet it was not nearly as cold as I thought it would be. Also you hear how doves represent the Holy Spirit, well since I’m in Florida I guess it took the form of a seagull that flew by. I didn’t see it till I looked back at a picture. I felt so blessed & still do.
My hope for you & your illness is that you realize you are not alone physically & spiritually. God is always listening & there are many support groups for Meniere’s. I administer 2 on Facebook.
