The Anniversary

Thanks @utopia@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope - anyone else I have missed

I slept for hours - I remember I had something to ease sinus pressure and for a while I didn't feel so giddy - and tonight I just hope I can get back to sleep

I don't think I have sinusitis - that could happen if I wasn't clearing them with everything I have to hand

But I get sinus pressure - one of my frontal sinuses is abnormally small and doesn't drain - being in the presurised cabin of a plane certainly contributed to this - as well as several days of walking in and out of an air-conditioned building and in the cold air wouldn't have helped

Tomorrow I am seeing my doctor - I don't think he can give many anything else to help - but if I need antibiotics he will give me a script - I don't like taking them

And they do say that the physicain who treats themself has a foot for a patient - it is equally true that the patient that treats themself has a fool for a physician - so I will take the doctor's advice

And yes @utopia - aeroplanes are great place to pick up germs - and I have been feeling under a lot of stress lately - and put them together and I have an untidy unit and I am tired out - but still able to handle all of this

But it is taking it out of me - I don't know about this computer - I can take it down and clear it out again but it is giving up on me - but for now it can wait

Thinking of you @Decadian

I only read the first message on here and wanted to send you love and big hugs. So deeply sorry to hear of your loss.

Hi @utopia@Former-Member

I think I am over the anniversary - still I know that my memories can get out of the woodwork at times and I can go down into a pile of damp tissues - too much stress will do this

I told the doctor about my sinus pressure yesterday - and he agreed that aeroplanes are a great place for bugs - and we are breathing recycled air after all -

This occurs in big hospitals - imagine breathing up bugs in an aeroplane and multiply the germs and the size of the environment - aw sheesh - things can always get worse - and the doctor said it is worse when people don't fly often - the last time I went away was last October - when I flew a short flight to a different small city - that was in Spring

Today I feel a lot better - I slept so long last night - I woke up too late to get to the pharmacy where I left most of my medication while I was away - and it is cold with showers here today

But for anyone - everyone - I invested in good shoes - I can walk further and I am encouraged to walk - but not in today's weather

Thanks @utopia

I fell asleep watching TV - I hope I sleep tonight - I am hoping I recorded the Star Trek film tonight - I think I have some of it - but not all of it

But my sinuses feel better - and yes - I have enough medication for the weekend - I have enough until Tuesday

I have stacks of books - I love reading - I hope you can get to a newsagent tomorrow for a magazine at least - I need to read - I love reading

I hope you sleep well tonight
