Ear, Nose, and Throat Endeavors

Hello friends. As some of you may know, I went under the knife on Friday morning. And for those who didn't, well now you do. My feet are numb as I type this. Presumably from the Roxicet. It's fabulous. 

 

So anyway, on Friday I had my tonsils removed, aka, a tonsillectomy. Had my nasal septum straightened, aka, a septoplasty. And got my turbinates reduced, aka, a turbinoplasty. So right now, I have a lot of ouch. I'm pretty much letting the saliva pool in my mouth because that is how badly I do NOT want to swallow anything right now. I am making improvements, however. I ate cereal today which tasted so good. Other than that, it's pretty mundane and repetitive. Take pain meds, drink water/gatorade, sleep, take antibiotics, pick the scabs out of my nose, make my nose bleed, take more meds, sleep more, eat something, drunkenly post a new blog post. You get the idea. 

 

The only reason I'm really typing this is to get my mind off the pain. I will probably read back on this and be embarrassed or mortified. Which would be a great success. But I had 3 surgeries mashed into 1, I think I can type whatever the hell I want to type! I can say this though, my nose doesn't even hurt the slightest bit, which worried me more than my throat. As for my throat, I loathe it at the moment. I feel like I've been in a coma the past few days. It's Sunday...and I had surgery on Friday.. I don't remember Friday or Saturday...like, at all. Which in the grand scheme of things I guess is pretty good. But I also think that's why everyone who has had their tonsils removed are like, "Oh, third day's the worst!" ...well, yeah ya big goof, cause you don't remember shit before then! That's all I have for now friends. I also hope you enjoy the picture of healing tonsils I posted.
