I'm still alive!

I'm still a little out of it, so forgive me if this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I promise I'll post a more coherent blog at a later date.

So turns out I didn't have a cyst at all in my sinus. Dr. Dugas told them that it was just mucus that had built up that couldn't come out on it's own. So here's what they pulled out of me (not for the faint at heart, so I'll post the link and not the actual picture).

And as far as I know the septum part went alright. I sure do feel sore, so I know there are some incisions and stuff up in there. The most annoying thing is that I'm really stuffy so I can't breathe through my nose hardly at all. Until Monday, every 20 minutes (except during the night) I have to squirt 4 sprays of Ocean Water in each side. Now THAT gets old really fast. And then on Monday, he's going to rip my brains out. See those strings taped on my nose? They're attached to the packings that are in my cheeks. Yes, cheeks. They told me to take a pain pill about 30 minutes before my appt on Monday, but I doubt very seriously that's going to help.

This was taken not long after we got home yesterday. Poor pitiful me huh.

Hey! that looks a lot like what i sucked out of Libby's head Sunday. "No! No, Momma No!!! Daddy!" I gave her 8 m&m's for letting me scar her for life. But she's learned to blow and not sniff when I tell her to blow her nose.
