Sinus Surgery Update...

Which I never gave you...

I went into surgery Dec 4th, way too early in the morning. My loving wife was kind enough to drive me in and sit with me through pre-op and lend her support. They put me completely under for the surgery and it was over in about 4 hours. Well, the surgery didn't last 4 hours, that's when I finally woke up. Long story short, I was laid up in bed for 4 days, thought I could go into work, spent about 2 hours in the office, went home and slept for two days straight. I decided I better wait til my 10 days convalescent time was up before trying that again. All said and done my recovery lasted for a little less than 3 weeks.

Improvements:
1. I can breathe! Deeply! With no trouble!
2. I don't snore as much. Jeanine's extremely happy!
3. It used to be painful to breathe cold air, such as you will find during winter, and I would have pain in my ears also. Not anymore! Spent 4 days snowboarding and didn't have any problems at all!
4. I don't feel as though I have to clear my sinuses all the time.

One drawback however, since they don't really know what causes sinus polyps there is a possibility they may return. I will be on medication for a very long time to help prevent that. Medication is Flo-Nase so it's not bad at all. 1 dose per day should keep them away.

Even a month and a half later my nose is still sensitive but I suspect that will go away in a couple more weeks.
