Between the throat burning, blood dripping down the back of my throat, and difficulty sleeping I thought for sure I had drifted off into a Stephenie Meyer novel. Today, the doctor forcibly extricated the packing that has been holding everything in place. I don't think I cried out, but I'm sure the expression on my face was priceless... it's hard to describe the experience... imagine pulling a banana out of your nose and you might be close. But it was worth it just to be able to breath through my nose again. Swallowing is such a pleasure commonly taken for granted.

My Surgery
The surgery seems to have gone well. Last Wednesday I finally had my deviated septum repaired along with some functional endoscopic sinus surgery to clear out my polyp-infested nasal passageways. It's like roto-rooter for your head. The worst part was that I had to breath through my mouth for almost 3 days... boy, your throat just starts to burn after a while!

Glad to hear it went well. I can't imagine taking packing out of your sinuses was enjoyable. Still not sure how my surgery went. I felt amazingly great for 12 hours afterward, then worse, now marginally better again. Hopefully things continue to head in the right direction for me. Enjoy life back in the land of the nose-breathers!
