This is a picture that I took while at my ENT Surgeon’s examination room.  Interesting?  Probably not.  At least you can see where the sphenoid/sephnoid is that was clogged with gunk.  Ok…now I know that the picture is not interesting to you anymore…LOL!

Well, today I am feeling stir crazy.  I have not been able physically to go to work.  It’s all that I can do to take care of myself and my two dogs.  I do appreciate my friends who drop in and help me out daily.  I spoke yesterday with my parents and they are totally supportive as they are praying for me and asking me if there is anything that they can do.  Their love makes me feel so much better.  It’s amazing that, here I am at 45 years old and I’m still close to my parents enough to feel their love giving me strength.  They are soon to celebrate 50 years of marriage!

My nose is draining.  It will for several weeks from what I understand from my surgeon.  The last time that I noticed it bleeding was yesterday morning.  So…I hope…the bleeding has stopped!  The splints will come out Monday afternoon when I go visit with my surgeon and perhaps that will help me to feel better and to have more healing to take place.  It feels as if there are toothpicks up my nose.  Okay…I guess I should have warned you that a gross comparison was about to come your way.

If you would like to leave a voice mail message wishing me well, I would appreciate it.  Just call my listener line at: 615-358-8255 (TALK) and that will make me feel even better.  I may even play them on my next podcast episode unless you state for me not to do so.  It would be good to hear other voices than those from the tv or radio.

Thank you for all of your supportive comments on Twitter, Facebook, and e-mail!  It’s amazing how folks like you have been there for me.   Many of you I have never met face to face.  Be glad that you do not see me right now.  I’d scare away Frankenstein’s Monster!  Honest.

That’s really all of the news that I have for you as of right now.  I appreciate your love and support!  Have a tremendous day!

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom

Were you ever the victim of a bully?  Did you fear going to school?  What did you do about it?  In this episode, I talk about the bullying that I was a victim of and what I did.  I also still discuss how this bullying caused deep harm to my friend to the point the he ended his life.  I talk about how sticks and stones may break bones, but words go beyond the physical to the emotional and become worse than a bruise or cut.

Your Nashville Friend,
