Sick

My sinus stuff has gotten worse the last couple of days. I woke up this morning with no voice. I went to the doctor, even though I didn't think they would give me anything. They did give me a few days worth of steriods. I'm very familiar with steriods. I have had to take them quite a bit in the past with my colon. I'm not on a strong dose so hopefully no side effects like they have caused in the past.
My Grandfather's Surgery was today. Since I wasn't sure what I was sick with, I didn't go to the hospital. There is nothing worse than being in the hospital and having someone come see you who is sick. Epecially if you catch it on top of whatever is else going on. So, I did the considerate thing and stayed home. It was hard sitting here all morning waiting to hear. His surgery took quite a bit longer than they thought it would, but it wasn't anything major.
He starts physical therapy on his knee soon. They should transfer him from the hospital to rehab over the weekend. He will be in rehab between 8 and 14 days. I am so glad that his surgery went ok. I know he wasn't feeling real well tonight, but hopefully the pain will get better soon. I remember the pain and the nausea from my arm and later from physical therapy. It definatly wasn't pleasant, but each day was a little easier than the day before. You take baby steps, you get frustrated cause you feel like you're not making a lot of progress, then one day you realize you're a lot better.
I missed Church tonight. I'm feeling pretty rough. It's also frustrating to not be able to talk, but I think my family is enjoying it :)
