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. -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.bridgetownglass.com On eBay: http://www.snurl.com/1sfe |

Oh, Kalera......ouch!!! I'd hug you, but that would hurt! I hope it feels
better soon. At least you know the sinuses will feel better once they heal. -- Kandice Seeber www.lampwork.net Vote for my site! http://tinyurl.com/bbcon Actually I got back last night but I was too thrashed to post anything.

Kalera -- do NOT let it keep bleeding -- it needs to STOP in order to
heal. Also - you can actually lose a significant amount of blood from that sort of thing. Drink lots of fluids - stay hydrated. The liquid hydrocodenone will be your friend - we had to get liquid something (not that) but just codeine I think for Chris - he couldn't swallow the pills after the second day -- REST - SLEEP - DRINK FLUIDS I would say that from what they did you will be feeling far better, and far perkier in 2 weeks.... just like my Chris - he was always dragging... I think the damn doctors stunted his growth as a teen because they wouldn't do anything - saying it wasn't "serious" - but he grew after he had them out - surprise surprise. But by then he was nearly 21 -- and past his good growth years. Hope you've started on that stock of banana popsicles too. hugs -- rest girl!

Wow, it's amazing that something like a huge cyst can grow in your
sinuses like that :S It sounds too gross to picture. I hope the pain in your faces goes away soon. Best, Christine |

Ouch! Still, I'm glad they found out what was making you feel dragged out. Once you're recovered ... watch out world! Sending wishes for a rapid recovery. -- Susan in CA(NADA) |
