Ugh

Been a little sick this weekend, again.  This is the third time in as many months with some sort of sinus issue.  Fortunately it doesn't last long, unfortunately I don't feel much like doing anything.  I can't even concentrate enough to do any reading.  Today doesn't seem as bad as previous days so I hope it is about over.  That would correspond with the previous time frames.  I am beginning to wonder if it is some sort of allergy.  We have Mountain Cedar here by the truck loads.  The numbers were very high this morning, 31,000 ppm.  I have never had an issue with cedar before.  But with those type numbers my sinuses might be just a bit overwhelmed.  K has suffered horribly for years with cedar fever with little to no relief.  She seems to have it under control better the last couple years.  This year she has no ill effects.  We finally got her to an allergist a couple years ago and confirmed that she was allergic to cedar.  After years of prescription meds that were no use, he recommended an over the counter med from Costco that has worked wonders.  It is Costco's brand of Zyrtec, Aller Tech.  She has to take it every day beginning before the season starts until it is over, whether she is experiencing effects or not.  It works well for her which has been a major relief for her.

We may try to head into town today for a few errands regardless how I feel.  Need to go to the bank, to Fedex for some shipping materials and maybe the grocers.  It all depends on how I feel as how long a trip this is.

K's recovery is still slow, but she went out a couple times by herself this weekend.  That is a big step.  She still gets very tired and sleeps a lot.  I haven't tried to push her to do more, but that may change this week.  I may try to get her up and be more active and actually try some minor exercise and see how that goes.  She says she doesn't have much pain except along the scar.  She says it's the nerves that were cut screaming at her as they try to heal.  Thanks to all that have wished her and I well over this last month.  We are thankful for your thoughts and prayers.  It helps knowing you care.
