Surgery next wednesday

I remember watching a PBS special some years back about a poor unfortunate soul who had a deviated septum...they took care of it with a chissel and hammer.
Seems like I have a deviated septum, polyps and a large cyst that needs repairs, the Dr. reassures me that they no longer use the hammer technique....lol
Anyway if I don't see you guys in a while on the board that's why.
Merry "early" Christmas everyone

Good luck Billy. Happy Holidays. :reindeer:

Good luck Billy - Fast recovery - Hoppy Holidays.

I wish you a Speedy recovery...:)

Let us know how the septum thing works out. I have the same issue. Good luck with it.

I had a cousin whose deviated septum got him out of the Army. Guess that won't be an issue for you.

Hope you recover quickly. Merry Christmas.

Speedy recovery!

Good luck :-)

Get well soon Billy

Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

I will post when I get back home

Good luck Billy. Mine went well, the drugs were nice ;)

My deepest sympathies for you my friend! 2yrs ago I took a hockey puck to the nose and that was the abolute worst surgery/painful miserable experience I've ever been through...even worse than achille's tendon surgery and having a 1/4 in hole punched completely through my calf!::Bawl:: Then again my deviated septum was repaired along with the rest of my nose being shattered from the puck ::Cry2:: so hopefully your's will be less horrible. Over a week with huge splints shoved up both nostrils sewn together through the septum and cotton suffed all the way up into your upper sinus cavities! Happy Happy Joy Joy! ::Censor::
Good luck man!

YIKES!

I guess it's a good thing I kept some of that 30mg instant release Morphine....lol

Not yet, Monday is pre-op, Wed. surgery

Damn, Billy, that sucks. Hope everything goes smoothly for ya!

S.

Good luck Billy, I work in a recovery room, and our ENT docs do surgery like that frequently, you'll wake up with a drip pad under your nose (a 2x2 gauze pad) taped in place.

They'll give you lots of drugs, and you won't remember a thing :D

Be sure to grab a cute nurse's ass after they give you the initial sedative::Banana::
