Kalera -- I still have my tonsils so no idea on that one (why do they take them out in the first place?) But real glad you had the sinus surgery done. Very good move. Becki Thanks, Becki! Have you had a sinus surgery? If yes, how did it go? The tonsil thing they only do nowadays if you have chronic tonsil infections, or severe recurring acute ones. I guess once your tonsils get really gross a few times, they get pitted and start to harbor bacteria, and there's no way to fix it besides taking them out. I won't go into detail about what chronic tonsil grossness is like, because it's worse than anything else I've posted about. Ick. Thank god they're gone. |

They waited until DD was in 5th grade to take 'em out, and then it was
only cuz I jumped up and down and was extremely annoying about it. DD was rarely sick (proof that the buggers were working, I guess) but they were HUGE and caused her to have sleep apnea (the 3rd ENT I went to called them "kissing tonsils" because apparently they're usually far enough apart to see between, but DD's were...snug). She snored terribly and would basically suffocate herself awake several times at night. The night after surgery she slept through the night with NO problems at all. I'm just mad that it took them (the docs) so freaking long to give this kid relief. Sheesh! KarenS |

Welcome back, Kalera!
Somehow, I didn't get the original post, but I'm getting the follow-ups. I hope you have a great recovery! I had sinus surgery about 9 years ago to repair a deviated septum, remove a bone spur, and correct an enlarged turbinate, and I couldn't belive what a difference it made! Get well soon! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Karen Sherwood" wrote in message news:FDYOg.7180$rT5.966@fed1read01... Yikes, Kalera!!!!! Hope you're less ouchy soon. In the meantime, slog down that hydrocodone and come back & post. I'm sure it will be fun for all. Fast healing! KarenS |

My poor sweetie! I'm glad you're *taking* the painkillers. They've
found that Being Brave and Toughing It Out can make the brain unable to deal with pain later. Painkillers are, by far, the lesser of two evils. You keep gettin' high! Lie back and let everyone wait on you. I haven't been on RCB at all over the weekend -- my in-laws were here, they always make us very, very busy. I wish I were there to help you -- fill orders, sop up blood, rub your weird feet. I'm hugging you right now! (But not too hard) Love, the Dr. [Sooz] ```````````````````````````````` Kalera wrote: 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 |

If Moxley insists you come south to California, he can just drop you
off at my house. The guest room is ready, 90% painted (no fumes left), and sunny all day -- clean sheets were put on the bed TODAY, in fact. And you know how restful it is here. There's a bed in the living room, too, and the couch is set up for lying-down-and-watching-TV. Just say the word.
