Hi Wes!!! How's the family? How are you feeling? Are you all better yet?
Good morning y'all. The family is okay. I had to run my 9 year old son to urgent care last night for an ear infection. Fortunately there is one pharmacy in Eugene that is open until 10 pm. My side still hurts, but I think it's improving. The CT imaging of my maxillofacial area indicated sinus issues not related to the event, so I have a lab draw to check my immune system (allergist), and another referral to ENT.

I hope the 9 year old feels better soon and you get some answers soon as well!

Thanks, didn't mean to complain really. I'm glad yhey gave my son medicine. Also I'm hoping they will figure something out vis-a-vis my sinuses, I've been dealing with that for a long time.

Missed 7 pages but caught up. It was an easy read as 5 of the 7 pages were everyone saying good morning, hello and goodnight to each other. I do believe there were actually a couple of posts about reefing and beating aiptasia. 🤣
Sorry I don't know how those reefing-related posts got through. We'll try harder in the future.

Feeling pretty good so far today! I slept well and feel rested. I have had a garmin watch that tracks my sleep now for around 5 months and this is the first time I have ever gotten an excellent score. My sleep doctor says they are pretty accurate at tracking sleep and how much rest you get. I guess between the exercise and not hurting at night and the new cpap machine everything is working together.
That is wonderful news Amanda.
