The Worst Thing Today

Harm accidentally slammed the door into my left thumb, she didn't know I was right behind the door on my way out. It's not broken thankfully, but it sure hurt a lot!

Thanks! It's going to be a bit of a torture, not drinking water after midnight the night before is almost impossible for me cause my mouth and throat dry up so I can't breathe and I have to drink water. And then afterwards I have to my nose packed for awhile and I can't sleep if I breath through my mouth, so I'm going to be miserable for awhile, I think!

SM I've had that surgery in addition to getting sinuses cleared out as well (I was 90% blocked in all three). It wasn't as hard to sleep as I thought because you are so worn out from healing and all the stress leading up to the surgery. The one part that did stink is because they had to clean out the upper most sinus (above your eyebrows) I had horrible headaches until the packing came out (about three weeks later). I will say this though, it was all worth it in the end because I felt like a whole new woman! I could smell, my allergies were cut in half, and no more sinus infections! It's been almost three years and I'm still doing awesome.

I wish you the very best of luck! Just remember that there is light at the end of this tunnel!

SonjaMarie, may it all go smoothly and yield the best results for you!

Y'all are making me want to get the surgery, hee. This past week, I've been huffing smoke off the fire at the Great Dismal Swamp, and it's keeping me very congested. Blah.

Thanks ladies!

Brenna: Did you have to sleep with your head elevated the first night? How did you handle having the nose packed and not being able to blow your nose for over a week? (that's what I was reading on pages about nasal surgery).
