Thanks lia.
I spoke to her son this evening and she is very drowsy due to pain killers etc. She doesn't want anyone to see her for a few days but it is more important to know she is going to be ok
Well...by the time I've done with the admin for the calendar, and answered messages my smile today was yesterday
I got some flowers from a friend and had lunch with my sister
oh yes and finally, after 3 days of pain, my sinusitis has buggered off.. woo hoo
It's nice to see so many people feeling happy this morning. I am sure the sun plays a big part in that.
I am off to Kempton Park for the Southern classic bike show today, so I am very happy
..and Sandi here is to the disappearance of sinusitis Not got a clue what that is, but I am sure it's not good
Thanks David x
Taken from the 'NHS Choices' website
Sinusitis is inflammation (swelling) of the lining of the sinuses, caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
The sinuses are small, air-filled cavities behind your cheekbones and forehead
Sinusitis typically causes a high temperature, pain and tenderness in the face, and a blocked or runny nose
It is a common condition and can affect people of any age.
The sinuses
You have four pairs of sinuses in your head:
two sinuses behind your forehead
two at either side of the bridge of your nose
two behind your eyes
two behind your cheekbones
Your sinuses open up into the cavity of your nose and help control the temperature and water content of the air reaching your lungs.
There's a bit more info on their website but didn't want to bore anyone.
After reading that myself I'm now wondering if it is Sinusitis I have cos my nose NEVER feels blocked, rarely runs, and I don't have a temperature; I just have a lot of pain, feels like my face is in a vice. Putting my face over a bowl of steaming water is the only thing that relieves the pain.
Here is to hugs LadyJ, hopefully that will be the first of many for you and welcome to BM.
There is lots of things to do and people to meet, check out that forums.
Inspector Gadget, I have not long got back but obviously missed other people. Still enjoyed it though
