Friday Update

I had planned to be back to writing, commenting and reading blogs, but I had a bit of a set back. If you have been following me on IG, then you would have seen some progress pictures. You would have also seen that yesterday I noticed a bump on the right side of my nose. I went to the doctor for another check-up (even though I had been there the day before) and he said my face was really swollen, my nose was very red and I was in a lot of pain. None of this is good and it is indicative of an infection. 

When he asked if I had a fever, I said I wasn't sure since I had not taken my temperature since surgery. But that I couldn't get myself warm at all. I have had to triple up the blankets and wear socks everywhere and I was still cold. Yep. That is pointing to an infection.

So I got on antibiotics did warm compress all evening and into this morning and I am about to go in for my follow up. 

My nose seems a bit less swollen, but the pain is still awful. So here's to hoping it doesn't affect my surgery results and I don't have to go back under for a fix. 

Have a wonderful weekend. I will update on IG later and I will be back Monday with a post. 

An Update

I had planned travel posts on traveling to Reno, but I just don't feel like now is the time to put those out here since we really aren't supposed to travel right now. And speaking of travel, we are supposed to go to Mexico next week. I am not sure that will happen. We have fears of being quarantined over there or them shutting down the border and it taking us hours upon hours just to get home. So for right now, we are just waiting things out. Things could get better or they could get worse and we don't have to make any changes until this weekend. Plus I think I would rather be in the warmth and out of the cold with the higher risk of getting this virus.

I am at work today. They are trying to figure out what to do. Our governor has closed all school until April 6th and suggested that our state offices be closed, but it is up to our leaders to decide if we are essential or not. So I am here, but Rory is home because the girls school is closed. We are hoping they make a decision soon on what we are doing.

I traveled all last week and other than people using their Clorox wipes on the plane and some wearing masks, I feel like things have been pretty much the same. The restaurants were still full. The airports were booming and people were still out and about.

I know that in order to curb this, we all need to social distance and quarantine, but if we are not all doing it, then it won't ever go away. I am just confused on the whole situation and don't know what to think. I do know that I was up half of the night thinking about what our future looks like and basically worrying about things that are out of my control right now.

Anyways, I am not sure how much I will blog right now as I just don't know what to say. I feel weird putting out my favorites when things are not great out there. Plus with the uncertainty of what is going to happen with everyone, their incomes, health, etc., I just don't know how much I will post right now. Are you continuing to post? Should we go about everything normally?
