I can BREATHE!

Only through my right nostril so far, though. I think those doctors are sitting on some crazy good decongestant sprays.

I even managed to sleep a more or less full night last night. Color me heartened! And, happily, still no pain. :)

Septa and turbinates and nasal valve repairs

Strangely, I'm feeling basically no pain, although I do have a lovely prescription for Vicodin. Mostly I'm just dribbling blood and unable to breathe through my nose, although the latter seems to be abating slightly -- hopefully entirely, soon. No pics, I'm afraid...just the hope that all this will turn out to have been worthwhile. The doctor said everything went perfectly, so my fingers are crossed!
