The past few weeks has tested every ounce of me. Between work, health and home. When does it all end?  Seriously?  I would love some sort of reprieve or break or honestly a fucking end to all this. Ever since the implants were placed I’ve been in a downward spiral. Last Friday I was called by my… Continue reading No Escape

Well. After a shitty weekend, my face started to just hurt as I drove home Saturday. By the time I got home I needed a sinus rinse. Fast. Something didn’t feel right. The strange smell has come back. The rotting one. Yay.  The rinse calmed down the fire, but my jaw has continuously hurt more… Continue reading Familiar Territory

 As of late. This is what my life has been. Finding time to grab onto the calm with chaos all around. I’ll be honest. The past 6 weeks have been … hell. After seeing the ENT, I was probably in the ER by day 3. My face has just contributed to hurt. Gave me antibiotics,… Continue reading Calm Within the Chaos

I saw Hepworth. Anxiety leading up to the appointment was crazy. I really didn’t know what he was going to say or do. He warmly greeted me with a handshake as he always does. However, he was polite and straightforward. I’ve come to respect this doctor in varying degrees. I told him about the drill… Continue reading Return

Seems like every time I post things just keep getting worse. More strange shit is showing up in my face. Last week I was in the shower just miserable. Doing my usual sinus rinse. That’s when the most disgusting thing came out. Immediately had the wife grab my culture sticks. Actinobacter baumannii. Never heard of… Continue reading Disappointing Progression

You would think by now that the surgeries would be over. That this would be all behind me. Of course it’s not. Last Thursday was anxiety inducing. Jaw surgery is not something to take lightly. It’s not as simple as pulling a tooth. The amount of trauma my mouth has had in the past 2… Continue reading Jaws

That’s strange feel in I have had in my sinuses for the past two years is continuing to haunt me. This weekend we got away to Ouray. Holy shit it’s the farthest I’ve gone. Middle of nowhere.  The night before we got there we left early.  Around 4pm Friday I started to feel like shit. It’s… Continue reading Anomalies

Two weeks ago, I think the rollercoaster has once again reached its maximum kinetic energy.  You know exactly what I’m talking about. Once you are strapped in, they don’t come off till the ride is over. The minute it leaves the loading station, your stomach just tries to hide.  All your back muscles tense up, maybe goosebumps… Continue reading Challenges

I wish I had something positive to talk about. I really do. I’ve lost my patience with doctors. This morning I went to see yet another oral surgeon. Just a waste of time at this point. As I sat there catching him up, he decided to start saying that I need to find another doctor… Continue reading Sick of being sick

Infection is back. Don’t think it’s left. It’s just there. More pus started coming out of my face and ears last week. I’m also getting what I can only explain as sores on the top of my scalp. I returned to my dermatologist for more injections. The last injections I got seriously pissed something off.… Continue reading Awesome
