Always hold your head up, but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level. ~ Max L.

First, I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for all your well wishes and prayers!! They really did mean a LOT. So I thought I would give you a little update on my health. This is a miracle and helped a LOT!!
And while still having lingering side effects, I am feeling lots better. But the artery busted in my nose again, bleeding four times in 12 hours! The E.R. has been threatening to do this:
Which is cauterizing, a primitive form of burning my nose until I smell like human barbeque. My own doctor has the same nosebleeds, he was cauterized and said it is horribly painful. Thanks doc! I imagine that afterwards my nose would feel like this
So I am doing what he tells me to avoid having the procedure, though there are no guarantees. After a bleed, my nose feels kind of like this
all drained of blood. What I really want is to return to looking like this
In my more feverish moments, I actually made you a nose kaleidoscope, thought it was too tacky, then re thought and posted it anyway!
Thanks for indulging me today. All pictures are mine except the two torture implements.

around with your nose in the
air, you’re going to end up flat on your face, but if you’re content to be
simply yourself, you will become more than yourself.”

Good to see you can still have fun even when you're not feeling 100%.Hope they don't need to do that procedure.
You are so funny, Miss G. I love your upbeat attitude. What will be will be. Just do as your told and hopefully, you will have the best possible outcome - no hominid bbq.
Oh my, you are so creative with your pictures! That's hilarious! I would do everything possible to keep from having that procedure. Sounds awful!! Good Luck!
Glad you're feeling much improved - enough to poke fun at yourself! Ewwwwww on the cauterization procedure - hope you don't need to have that done! Take care!!
Well you must be feeling better Ginny, your sense of humor is running at full throttle. I love your funny faces. Hopefully you will never have to go through the torture treatment.
Ginny! You are back to your humorous self!! Welcome back to blogging world.. hahaha...
This is all new to me...never heard of a nose being cauterized. Even thinking of the procedure sounds painful!!!
Love your sense of humor, and hope that what you are doing for now does the trick and keeps you out of the ER!!
It's good to see you here again but I hope you can get by without having this done!
I had my nose cauterized just last year because of the first nosebleed in my whole life and it lasted off and on for five days. I NEVER want to have a nosebleed again!!!!!!!! So I'm very thankful for the cauterization. It wasn't bad except that you had to sit very still. For about an hour. (No silly - it actually was about 45 seconds but it seemed that long.)
:)
I like your sense of humor about all this, Ginny!
Love your crazy pictures. Feel better soon.
You are such a "hoot" even when feeling poorly! I hope you get well without being "tortured". Take care, my friend.
Best,
Bonnie
Wonky photos! I do hope you feel better.
you still have your funny bone intact, please do what they say so you don't have to be torched!
I am rolling on the floor laughing - only you would do that. My grandson's have pictures of me like that but there is no way I'm putting mine on there!
Seriously though - I hope and pray that your nose stops bleeding and I hope also that you feel better.
Love, sandie
So happy that you are feeling better..That flu bug has been around here for a few weeks and our grandkids have felt terrible...I know it's harder on us the older we get..
love the crazy photos...my sweet husband loves to play with all those apps. Thank you for emailing me with such useful information. Take care Ginny and I hope you bounce back fast..
hugs
laughed all the way through and then laughed LOUDLY when I read the scripture. PERFECT... and i like the last nose best of all... glad you decided to post it.... Ipad pics or cell phone pics or laptop pics, which did you use. I am not laughing at your nose bleeds, on that subject i am running in circles shouting BWAK BWAK BWAK
LOL I love the nose kaleidoscope! Cauterizing sounds awful - I hope it doesn't come to that.
You must be feeling better. :) My wife had to have her nose cauterized one time but I think they done it with chemicals.
Hope you are on the mend.
So good to hear from you...your pics describe the feeling very well:) Hope you get better and better
You have a great gift in your sense of humour, my friend!
Well your sense of humor isn't suffering that's for sure...lol I loved your pictures but sorry you had to feel that way. I think your nose kaleidoscope is quite creative
You've got me cracking up! I'm so happy you're better, but I hope you get to 100% soon!
Glad you are feeling better...on top of everything else, I came down with a cold while still at Sarah's...was there a week. I actually feel like I am on the mend now...just hoping and praying they don't get it.
Humor in misery....LOL I hope your poor nose returns to it's former beauty.
Love your sense of humour, Ginny! The photos are hilarious. Continuing prayers for a quick recovery. Hugs.
