Surgery Update, v0008

I got the packing out yesterday. It was not as bad as I thought / heard. They pulled out a long, thick piece of cotton out of each nostril and suddenly I could breathe through my nose again. There is still a splint and another piece of packing somewhere in my nasal cavity, they come out next Monday.

So far the worst part of this by far has been how sore my muscles are. Mae pointed out that this was probably from the anesthesia, and not from how I slept. She also said she couldn't get over how much straighter my nose was. I'm not sure I see it yet.

Thanks again to all the helpers, callers, visitors, and well wishers.
