I also had another EGD and had polyps removed and stomach tissue biopsied on Wednesday-so still kind of recovering from that, too. No results yet.

Sick
Sorry, I've not posted in a while. I've been trying to kick a really bad sinus infection.

A Sound Among Trees
A Sound Among Trees by Susan Meissner starts out so slowly, I
didn't really want to finish it. The book really doesn't pick up until almost
the last chapter.
Susan Meissner has interwoven a modern day story with a
civil war era story, and I feel the book would have been better if she had
created two stories instead of one.
The modern day story is full of superstition and unfounded
ghost stories perpetrated by Adelaide Bishop, owner of the ancestral home.
Adelaide is convinced there are not ghosts in the home but
that the home, Holly Oak, is trying to exact penance from all the female
inhabitants both past and current - penance
for her great grandmother's treason in helping the Union soldiers. How else, she reasons, would there have been
so many losses. Losses that include the
death of her granddaughter, Sara, and the running away of her daughter,
Caroline, Sara's mother.
When Carson, Adelaide's grandson in law (Sara's widower),
marries Marielle, a woman he met and fell in love with over the internet, the community wastes no time in apprising her
of the "ghosts" of Holly Oak.
Marielle, just a little too susceptible to the stories, gets all caught up in the intrigue.
The book really
doesn't begin to work until after a
major mishap and Caroline's return. It's
as if everyone needed a slap to get back into reality and Caroline provided the
slap.
I normally love historical fiction; however, A
Sound Among Trees never really delivered.

My, oh my, the Pain
Yesterday I found out I have a "serious" sinus infection and upper respiratory infection.
Not a single symptoms until Tuesday night; nothing. No cough, drainage, or anything.
Tuesday night; excruciating headache. Worse than when my head was bashed in the assault, and believe me I didn't think anything could be worse than that.
I saw the Doc on Wednesday and get four shots and three prescriptions. Now all I feel is just a nagging, throbbing ache in my head and nose. The one in my nose was caused by a nasal swab, when they were checking to see if it was the flu, hitting the swollen sinus, I skyrocketed out of my chair from that one!

Identity theft
Found out around 8 this morning that I've been the victim of identity theft. The credit card was in my purse. Have been running around to police department and on phone cancelling cards, contacting the credit bureau fraud department and putting freeze on my accounts. Unfortunately, these creeps get away with this coz there is soooooooooo very, very little you can do until they strike again.
The police can't do anything until I get the affidavit from the credit card company and that takes approximately 21 days. Then because it's out of sate, I may not be able to do anything other than file the report.
