Default OT - back from surgery!

Actually I got back last night but I was too thrashed to post anything.

So I was totally not expecting the main part of my surgery to be the
sinus thing. I thought that was kind of an afterthought, more of a "hey
as long as we're in here anyway" but then it turned out that my left
sinus cavity was blocked by a huge cyst and has been filled with
festering solid matter for, evidently, years, and my right one was
sporting a slightly smaller cyst. In the meantime my turbinates had
swollen to like four times their normal size, so he "trimmed" them,
which sounds like the grossest thing evar. I think he might have done
something to my deviated septum as well.

My nose is all swollen and my face hurts. Also an astonishing amount of
blood keeps coming from it, which is apparently normal and fine. It's
slowed down since last night; I sat over a bucket last night and just
let it flow because I got tired of changing the gauze. There's some sort
of plastic framework inside my nostrils, which I get taken out on Monday.

Compared to the sinus reaming, the tonsils are a minimal inconvenience,
although solid food would be nice. Veggie broth with silken tofu cubes
is really not so bad though. Also I have the biggest goddamn bottle of
oxycodone and also, for real, a whole quart bottle of liquid
hydrocodone. I am waiting for Moxley to come home with some tofutti and
other foods more substantial than jell-o and popsicles.
