Update:

Still on the mend. Missed a couple more days of work unfortunately, but couldn't be helped.  But most of the weekend has been event free. Unfortunately, i did have a brief setback Saturday night. I had to go to the store and when i went out to my car to start it the battery was dead. I had left the lights on... for some odd reason. Anyway I couldn't get a rige to the store until that night, and I had to strain a little more than I'm used to. So on the way back home I did start to bleed a bit. I spray some Afrin up my nose ( not the white power that Rorrkonn suggested) and the bleeding stopped. Hopefully I go back to work tomorrow.
