On Friday I went to an ear, nose and throat specialist to have the plugs removed from my nose. It has been a real discomfort trying to sleep while breathing through my mouth. I really got a dry mouth and had to get up in the night to get a drink of water.
When the doctor removed the plugs it was not very painful and it great to be able to breathe through my nose again. But then the fun began .... she felt it was necessary to cauterize the nasal cavities again. This was to prevent the bleeding to start again. It felt like she was placing a hot poker up my nose and I could not help but flinch. She did give me the choice getting the plugs again (no thanks), bleeding or using the "hot poker". Reluctantly I chose the hot poker!!!
By the late afternoon I was feeling pretty good and breathing quite well through my nose. We even went out to dinner with our friends at the Punta Gorda Elks but did not stay long enough to do any dancing to Jay Smith.
We did get back home in time to watch Kentucky play in the NCAA tournament and were disappointed that they did not make it to the final four.
We got our package of information about our cruise to Rome. I went on Google Earth and even looked at the hotel we will be staying in at Rome. Looks pretty good and it is less than a 2 mile walk to the Vatican.
We are both looking forward to the relaxation of the cruise.
More later and hopefully more frequently ..... except when we are at sea!!!!
