@becsbuddy, @loribmt, @sueinmn, @artscaping, @jakedduck1, and the whole crew....Howdy! Saw the sinus doc yesterday and helped her understand the problems with my recovery. surgery was 9/9 and still not healed. Have some inflammation and have really been set back on my heels with this.

Tachycardia, other heart things I can't spell, but all will be fine. Had 2 EKGs, 2 weeks wearing a monitor, and next Monday I go in for a nuclear heart scan. Really don't want to do this, but suppose I will. My HR is wild these days, 160 for a couple of hours a few weeks ago, craziness as I've not had these kinds of heart issues. Pretty much staying upstairs resting until the scan next week.

I spent all day at Mayo yesterday with stuff, got my flu shot and shingles vaccine. I don't have shingles! Glory be...what a time/ saved by MM, THC/CBD lotion. The only thing that stopped the agony and healed the blisters and rash. Amazing. PCP couldn't stop laughing, told his staff. Glad I could help him out and teach him a solution.No to nasty drugs, no antibiotics, love it.

Here's the news....While at Mayo yesterday, I had a healthy, delicious lunch in DR and then walked...YES, Walked between 2 buildings and enjoyed the lovely art and plants and folks. Lovely day, in the low 70's, same today. I think It's going up to 63 tomorrow! Wow...I may be able to use my perky walker outside tomorrow for an on-the-property walk.

New strength coming my way this week. Found a nasal rinse I can use w/o burning my sinuses like crazy. Costly, painful trip online to find one of 3 that the doc suggested; i like her, but surgeons seem to have different attitudes; I got no help from her or staff with problems at home.
think she heard me yesterday;

Infectious disease doc referred me for shots, that I got. referred me to Physical Med for help with pelvic dysfunction problems. One at Mayo. Had problems with outside PT, actually caused pain and other problems. So, doing it at Mayo, and he'll refer me to my therapy pool after I'm a bit stronger.
GOODY!
Love to all and blessings. Elizabeth

Jeez Lizzy, your an insurance companies' worst nightmare.
Glad your heart rate went down on it's own.
My cousin’s heart rate climbed to 260 and they cardoverted him. But it never went below 160.
I should take a water therapy class but I probably wouldn't.
You take care of yourself,
Jake

Man, Elizabeth, you sure have been in the laundry tub, been scrubbed on the washboard and run through the ringer these past months! I’m sorry you’re still having those sinus issues after 2 months…along with everything else? You’re always so upbeat no matter what! I’m sure hoping you get a break soon and have some pain free days!

Love that you’re getting out and about with your spiffy walker! Enjoying the sunshine and fresh air is always a day brightening. I’m down in Florida right now so I’m getting a taste of the same weather! Back home it’s in the upper 20s so I’m feeling pretty cocky. Hehe Been walking miles daily on the beaches in the Panhandle! Between Covid and my leukemia/transplant saga it’s been a long time since we’ve gotten down here.

Sending love and prayers for you, Miss Elizabeth! Hugs.

@ess77. Keep on truckin', Elizabeth! Your fortitude and determination are so impressive as you combat all these many battles you face on a daily basis. The good news is that you seem to have an A Team when it comes to your medical needs. Thinking of you. Laurie ❤

@ess77 Whenever I’m down, along you come and make me feel better!i just wish i had half your energy! We took our grandchildren to meet their great grandmother and then all, except me, went off to the Air and Space Museum. I came back to the hotel to crash! Guess I’d better get back to the weight machines at the gym. Build up my energy! Just love you and your strength, Elizabeth!
