I survived surgery, it was one of the easier surgery's and other then the blood draining down my throat I'm doing great. They were only able to get 60% of the cyst out of my sinus, because it was in a hard to get to location, but they stretched open my upper and lower tubes so they think it should all drain out. I have to wear a piece of gauze under my nose...it kind of freaked Bruce out but Preston didn't even seem to notice. I have had a really hard time sleeping. Bob has been so good to me, I have to sleep in a recliner for the next little bit. I hate not sleeping by Bob, so he held my hand, and read me story's until I got sleepy. I woke up every 2 hours, and had to drink something, breathing out of your mouth is so rough on your throat.. I am pretty sure I will be back to normal in a couple days...yeah

I didn't know you were having surgery either. Are you better already? Do you need me to bring you something? I've lost your phone number again, somehow it doesn't stay in my phone. =(

I hope you are feeling better. A cyst in your nose is new, right? I have looked at your blog every few weeks and it was the Beast. I was really excited and just spent 40 minutes or so reading your blog. You have such a great family and you are so strong. And you and Bob are so cute. I hope you guys are coming New Years Eve at least for a little while. We need to catch up.
