I was thinking about you just last night. How much you have gone

through. How you were able to return to work so strong and full of

vigor. You inspire me.

I hope that things are still well with you. What happened with the

promotion you were so over due? Are you still working full time?

I was doing alot better before the drain got infected. That is

quite a set back and now it appears I have something going on where

the peg was placed; and it aint superficial. I am starting to get

some withdrawel symptoms from the demerol; these are a drag.

I try to tell myself to have faith. There is a greater plan. Maybe

it is time for me to move on,; but I couldn't imagine an easier and

more enjoyable position then the one I have. I really love that

job. Well they told me I had until june 22 with a possible 30 day

extension after that. Then my job would be gone; I would have used

up every ounce/cc of FMLA job protection I have. The only way I

could retain my position after that would be if they just held it

open for me out of kindness and love and MUSC is way too large an

institiion to do that. I dont know if I can return in a reduced

capacity for a while or not.

Well time will tell. I hope you and Dave are having a wonderful

life and know that you do inspire me.

Hi Rupesh,

I'm very sorry, i didn't wish to cause you any anxiety. I'm not sure what

you could be allergic to that would cause the symptoms that you describe.

Obviously it is difficult to try and diagnose someones health problems over the

internet. I would try the treatment that your doctors have suggested, and if you

still have the symptoms, then you need to go back to your doctor.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Best wishes,

Sue

Hi Sue,

Sorry to hear about the mild pain you have been experiencing with

your jaw. Any idea what may be causing it? Just follow your OS

advice and rest it!!

I had sinus surgery a few years back. I didn't have much pain after

surgery, just mainly discomfort of being congested. When I woke up

after surgery I had quite a bit of coughing that kind of scared me.

The nurse told me that sinus surgery has quite a bit of bleeding with

it which was why I was probably coughing so much. My nose was numb

for about 2 to 3 months after the surgery. I did run a low grade

fever for about 2 weeks after the surgery which my surgeon stated was

normal for sinus surgery.

Good Luck to You and I am sure after having jaw surgery, sinus

surgery should be a breeze!
