Bad news first....

I have NOT been sleeping well...I’ve figured out why too. I spent most of last night awake...and unable to breathe through my nose. If I stay on my right side ALL night, I might be okay, never mind the body aches and pains from not moving much all night. But turn onto my back or onto my other side and within minutes I’m stuffed up enough that I can’t breathe though my nose at all. Nose spray does nothing, sitting up helps, but only if I’m upright for nearly an hour. So I’ve spent most of last night trying not to cry in frustration ‘cause that would only clog the sinuses all the more. *SIGHS* I’m so tired of this. Physically, mentally. I’ve been all but /useless/ at work for the past few days because I’m SO tired. I’m really just hoping to get some ideas while I continue to try the loratadine and sinus rinse again. I’m....okay during the day. One moment I’ll be clear enough to be comfortable and an hour later I’m wishing I could drill a hole in my face just under my eye and to the side of my nose to help things drain. >,e...I’ve basically copied most of the above of this to my doctor, begging for some ideas to help me sleep through the night, I don’t know if I can do this much longer.....*SO just wants to lay her head down and sleep*

And the good news!

My Aunt sent this email concerning my cousin Kent (the one with Crohn’s):

“We got surgery scheduled on March 23rd!! He's been pretty sick the last three days so I'm hoping he lasts that long. Both of us thought the surgeon was going to say no because of the way he started out his conversation with us but I guess they have to tell you certain things before they get into what they think. He will have to be in the hospital for 5 days. He has a May 12th back to work date. The surgery is at the Antioch Kaiser which is brand new and has private rooms. They said I could even stay over if I wanted to. So we have good news at last.”
