Roto-Rooter aka Surgery

So, I've been under the weather for the better part of the last 3 months with everything sinus. It's lovely, but my patience ran thin, and I made an appointment with an ENT at the Shea Clinic here in Memphis. The doctor was very helpful, detailed, and thorough in explaining how messed up I was in the head area. Granted, I already knew most of this, and Chris would concur, but I was surprised to learn that adenoids can grow back! So much for that surgery I had in first grade!

So this Wednesday, April Fools Day no less, I'll be under the knife, getting a brand new nose...inside and out. Since I'll be getting the deviated septum straightened, the inflamed, infected adenoids removed (again), and sinus passages enlarged, I figured I'd also go ahead and get the bump on the top chiseled down. I've never though of myself as a rhinoplasty, Dr. 90210 patient, but it's now or never, because I would never bring myself to pay full price for a new snout.

I'll be off work for a week, and mom is coming to help take care of me, or play with Riley, which ever seems to be more entertaining. This will depend on my consumption of pain meds! I'm trying my hardest not to think of the pain or bruising, and I gave up on Internet research, because there are too many horror stories out there. We'll see how Wednesday goes!
