Its all about the nose here....
 

Hey Everyone!
 
I just wanted you all to know that I got the packing out of my face yesterday, which was exactly as painful and disgusting as it sounds.  Because I am all about the drama, I fainted in the dr office right after hugewedge # 2 got yanked out of my sinus. 
 
Cue lots of nurses tripping over my size 11 feet while trying to find the ice pack in the back corner of the cabinet.
 
Luckily I was sitting in an exam chair, so I didn’t hit the ground, or worse, the tiny doctor, who I would have squished like a bug.  I came to because a nurse slapped an ice pack on my face, which hurt like the bejeezus.  Syseech!
 
My nose feels so much better and I look mostly normal now.  I have really red cheekbones because my skin did not like the tape, but I have greased up with exzema meds and should look better soon. 
 
My throat is pretty much on fire.  I take my pain meds on schedule and drink water non stop from the bendy straw.  Who knew I could go so long without talking?  I’m surprised I haven’t exploded.
 
I slept really well last night for the first time since forever which makes me feel much better.  It is going to be an exciting day – shower, change of sheets and maybe a movie on the downstairs tv!!  Whoo hoo.
 
Thanks very much for all your comments and concern.  It really makes my day!

Sounds like things are getting better, I'm so pleased you got a good nights sleep. It makes all the difference!

I hope you make a swift recovery.

*hugs, but avoids sore face*

Yeah, I did not mention before that my husband said getting the packing out was the worst part of it for him. There was not a lot in there, but he said it felt like they were way up in his head and that it was like a cartoon where the dentist has their foot on the patient's head to pull his teeth. He looked white as a sheet when he came out of that, so I am glad for you that part is over and glad to hear you are making good progress.

Meep! Fainting is not fun at all. *gentle hugs*

But hurray for good sleep, and even more so for finally getting all the wadding and such out. Enjoy the movie, the shower, and fingers crossed that more sleep will help your throat heal more quickly.

That sounds very unpleasant but hopefully things will be better now.

Oof. This sounds like progress, anyway!

Also, I am proud of you for the drama. I mean, how often does one get to faint in public?!

I witnessed it once and I was traumatized.

I'm glad you're better though. ::hugs::

Well, but for the throat, it's sounding like improvement all around! And sleep and a shower --- ooh, I'll bet that felt good.

Well, better but for the morons working on you, at any rate (gotta see some bright side here, right?)

Glad you're feeling better! I should recover from imagining that procedure any time now. :-)
