Nosing Around

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

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.

Jesus commented, “…If you walk 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.”

Luke 18:13-15
