I usually don't watch the Miss USA/Universe stuff.
But last night there was nothing else on, so I watched a bit of it.
I have two comments.
1. Obviously... I almost died when that poor girl fell. At first I thought she did it on purpose (like maybe a "here's to you, old Miss USA"). But then I saw the horror in her eyes, and I knew it was an accident. And since I know how she felt (from falling down the stairs during the recessional at my wedding), I am still feeling sorry for her today. How awful to practice and prepare and then fall down!!!
2. And now I am going to take a jab at her... Did anyone see her little bio film? Where she said that she never felt pressured to be thin and how she embraces her healthy body? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? That girl is so dag gum skinny. I was giving her props, then I saw her whole body and just got mad. She may not be starving herself like some of the other girls, but she is certainly not indulging in brownies and ice cream. I'm just sayin...
And now I am done venting about something that really doesn't concern me in the least...
For Meg, who really does care: I went for my post-op visit last Wednesday. Dr. N said I was healing nicely! The surgery was successful in his opinion. I had had so much past infection in my maxillary (cheek) sinuses that little holes had eroded on both sides into my nose... CRAZY! And the lining in my ethmoid (nose) sinuses had grown down into the folds of my nose. That sounds gross. He fixed it. I can breathe, and I am feeling pretty good. I should be completely healed up in the next six to eight weeks. (Then I can begin a rotation diet.) I had NO pain whatsoever with the surgery, and I am so very thankful for that. I still have to squirt salt water up in there several times a day, but I hope to be through with that in the next 10 days or so. It doesn't hurt; it is just a little gross and completely inconvenient. I go back again next Monday.
Love to you all on this very rainy Monday. I would like to go to sleep, but am pretty sure that is not okay in the working world.
OH Emily! I saw her fall and I IMMEDIATELY thought of you. Not because of your fall (although reading about it reminded me and I did have a good laugh)but because you love pageants so much! Poor girl. Oh well, life goes on. Maybe they can pick a more coordinated Miss USA in 2009.
ReplyDeleteOh and Meg isn't the only one that cares about your nose and sinus well being. I take offense to that comment! I care very much and am happy to hear all is well. Can't wait to see if it does the trick with the food allergies!
ReplyDeleteOh, Emily!! I am glad that you are feeling well! Scotty and I are back!! Yea!! I hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are feeling better!! Will you be able to eat brownies any time soon???
