I am excited and nervous for this next Wednesday, Oct. 22. I'm going to Billings(for the third time in 3 weeks) for surgery. If you are one of those friends who talks to me often, you will know that I have struggled with sinus problems for years. I believe it's been since I was a small child, but I didn't know what the problem was since I was generally miserable for a good chunk of my childhood. There will be both an otolaryngologist and an oral surgeon working on me in succession. The new endoscopic sinus surgery promises to be the key to relief of the pressure/pain in my head. I am taking advantage of my first time being under anethesia to have those crazy teeth out, too. Wish me luck! In a few months, I hope to be breathing clearly!
If only it had an off switch; my mind. It is noisy and cluttered and I can feel it in my stomach and in my throat. I'm all one piece, after all. If I could disconnect, I'd be in a quiet, comfortable place. Alas, I am entwined, and so I must breathe slowly-deeply. I will get to quiet and calm if I can only breathe. Be still, mind; silence to this mortal temple in which I reside. May you too have peace and be blessed. And do not forget to breathe.
