Sunset79: Sinus Surgery and other happenings

Since January I have had 6 sinus infections and 3 double ear infections. The last sinus infection in July decided not to go away so I sucked it up and went to a real doctor. Every time I got sick I went to a Little Clinic because it was fast and easy. I didn't have to make an appointment and they would give me my antibiotics and that was that. What I really needed was an ENT specialist. I finally went to one and he said my sinuses were a disaster basically and I needed surgery pretty badly. So I did it.

It was miserable. It put me out for 5 days. When he told me it was an outpatient surgery I figured it would be easy and I would recover pretty quickly...as if. There were stents up my nose for the first 6 days....if you don't know what those are then you don't want to. Basically there were plates up my nose and when he removed them I almost wish he had put me to sleep again. I was kind of looking forward to recovering because I could get some TV watched, books read, blogs written and projects done. I got TV watched but that's about it.

While sitting on my couch everyday I came across a post on FB from Mama Laughlin talking about a 21 day detox put on by her trainer. I do not care what anyone says I'm still and always will be a ML fan. I decided to join...why the helll not? The first three days were perfect because I couldn't smell or taste food so it didn't matter what I ate and it got me over the initial hard days. Fast forward to today Day 12 and it's a big fat MF'in fail. Oh well. My boyfriend told me if you aren't all in then you aren't going to do the whole thing...I really hate when he's right. One of my friend's decided to do it with me though and she is doing great! She lost 7 pounds the first week.

So back to that whole balance thing I was talking about. I thought a detox would send me in the right direction but it didn't. I did decide to join a gym though. Complete motivation! If I'm paying for it I will go, I don't like to waste money!
