I was scheduled to go for sinus surgery. I needed my septum straightened out and a polyp removed. One week before surgery I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic.
I've been pricking my finger regularly and keeping an eye on things. I'm not an extreme diabetic so I should be OK with dietary changes and exercise.
Surgery went well. My septum is nice and straight now and the polyp, golf ball sized, was removed with out problem. When I woke up in the recovery room they asked if I wanted some water. I told them very plainly, "I want a hamburger." I was just a little hungry. Going 24 hours with out food will do that to you.
My breathing has improved a lot, but I'm not at 100% yet. The right side, where the polyp was, is still producing blood clots and they interfere with airflow. How ever they are are forming less often every day. The left side seems to be having trouble due to the electric heat we have in the apartment, it dries me out and swells the tissue a bit. NasoGel several times a day helps a bit.
Work at the bowling alley is ok. It's not enough hours, 12 a week, and they are shrinking a bit that back a bit. New winter hours should have me at 11.5 hours a week. With Christmas holidays coming up I'm only going to be in for 4 hours a week. Thankfully I'm willing to take other peoples shifts if they call in sick.
I'm still looking for something better though....
