Day of Delirium #358 - Personal Day Follow Up

So all went as well as it could have for my sinus surgery. I had my follow up splint removal today and the doctor was pleased with how everything went and looks. Except for trouble coming out of the general anesthesia and being in the hospital from 9am until after 5pm, I was pleased with how things went too.

I look like I am Rorschach or something.

The only other issue I would state was that it was waaaay messier than I expected. I envisioned that they would just vacuum out the gunk and off I would go. And while part of that is true, they also redid my septum a little bit and found polyps hiding in all the gunk and inflammation. Sooo there was  lots of ick to move along after the procedure.

So as I said today was the removal of the splints and when I asked if they were big or small the doctor said they were big. Well, for some reason I thought maybe he was fibbing.... he was not!

Oh my goodness, I can not believe those were in my nose. No wonder I couldn’t breathe!!

All is better now though. Still some pain and ick but overall I can breathe and it feels so good without the splints. The doctor says now we wait and see how my body and time heals everything. There is no guarantee this will all work or that it will fix the issue and we may have to wait 3 months to find out but it’s the start.

Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, emails, texts and calls. It meant so much to me to have support and friends hanging in there with me.
