Why is it?

Why is it that the busier I get, musically speaking, the more throat problems I have? I hadn't been sick hardly at all for 3 years until this past October. In mid-October I contracted a little cold virus, and the darned thing doesn't seem to want to go away. It's now March and my doctor FINALLY decides I need a CAT scan of my sinuses. Result, accute chronic sinusitis and more than likely the joy that is sinus surgery...again. I had surgery at the age of 18 after struggling with chronic sinus infections and bronchitis since the age of 13 or so. Took them 5 years that time to figure out what was wrong with me. I guess I should be thankful that it only took them 5 months this time. Still, I remember that surgery well and compared to all the other surgeries that I've had, the recovery was HORRID. The headaches never did quite go away and have fed a steady stream of migranes since then, which was almost half a lifetime ago. Still, at least it's something they can do for it, as opposed to just having to live with it.

I realize I'm griping a little. I don't usually do this, but I'm a little frustrated. I hadn't had much work musically until August of last year, and now I'm singing on a weekly basis and I'm HAPPY! So WHY NOW?!?!? Damnit...that's what annoys the hell out of me. See? I'm cussing. I'm so perturbed I'm cussing. I am ready to be healthy and if surgery is the way to that road, so be it. At least it's not another gall bladder removal. OH SO FUN!

Here's hoping anyone out there who reads this is haveing a good week. I'll keep you in my thoughts and my love and light enfold you, especially if you happen to be an ear/nose/throat specialist. :-)
