Hubby had surgery, possibly having another!

[COLLEEN S]

Hi friends,
Like it or not, thats what you are to me. My hubby had a bad hernia repair done 2 weeks ago, and I have been off the boards helping him recover. Additionally, he is facing a possible 6TH!!!! sinus surgery. Naturally, living in Md we are going to Johns Hopkins Sinus Center. He has an appt this week. Please add him (Mike) to your prayers.
Hugs,

I got a guy up here in Jersey who can take care of sinus problems in one session. It takes about ten minutes in his office, and it involves a crowbar and some screaming, but I have to admit the results are pretty good...

Best wishes,

Sorry to read about your husband's sinus problems, Colleen. I had chronic sinisitus when I was a child but outgrew it. I wish him the best in dealing with his sinus problem.

Colleen:

Sorry your hubby had a bad hernia repair and is possibly facing another surgery, for sinus problems.

Hopefully, if he does need sinus surgery, he'll recover pretty quickly -- and it will be a success.

I'm sure sinus surgery is a far, far cry from what my dad went through in the late 1930s or early 1940s. I shuddered when I heard the details years ago.

Hernia repair, sinus problems.....oh my, give the poor guy a big piece of cake and ice cream on the side.

I have said prayers for him and wish him all the very best.

Hubby in my thoughts and prayers Colleen. Keep us updated on how he is doing. Hopefully he won't have to have another surgery. Sinus problems make you miserable..

Colleen, best wishes for your husband (and you, the caregiver, also). I might suggest that you not send him up to NJ to see Bob's guy...sounds a little painful...but it would probably open his sinuses.

Good luck!

Colleen--I will also pray for your husband. I have heard that sinus surgery can be a tough one to deal with, but I am sure you guys are up to the challenge.

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your good wishes!
I am happy to say, the dr at Hopkins, Dr Lane, based on 2 visits and a 64 slice CT, said he doesnt need surgery...there were no polyps but one and that the inflammation is due to an increased IgE level. He is going next week to the allergist there to have further testing done. His pulmologist in Salisbury, seems to feel he would benefit from Xolair therapy. They are very $$$$. Like a thousand a month, but hopefully we can get in a test group or get it at a reduced rate (astrazeneca has set up programs for people). Thanks for posting all.
