I had my surgery yesterday. It's not bad really. I went in at 7am. They were fast getting me back there, doing my IV and such...then they went to get Jeff to tell me goodbye...said "give him a kiss, it's time to go". That's the last thing I remember. I think they sneaked me the medicine to put me to sleep, because I don't remember anything past them telling me to say goodbye to Jeff. I woke up fully packed in the nose....mild pain. The most pain was the burning in the back of my nose and throat. I felt a lot of pressure in my face. I had gause taped to the outside of my nose ....and pretty much all day yesterday it bled through just about every hour. I slept OK last night. I am feeling a lot better today...the blood draining is very minimal..I quit wearing the gause today...the tape was tearing up my face (I'm allergic to adhesive). NO BLACK EYES! I have very minimal swelling....I have 2 small cuts on the outside of my nose. I'm leaving in about 2 hours to have the packing removed...I'm a bit nervous about it. My Dr. told me that it's very painful..in fact, "you're not going to like me very much" were his exact words. Oh well, I've survived much worse! I'll be fine to go back to work Monday...and if things continue to go as well as they have so far, this will be my easiest surgery so far!
