It has been a while since I had the surgery, but I remember being laid up for several days. I was on pain meds, and your nose will be clogged for a few days too while everything heals and drains.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809397616829044745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-6620097786475444952011-12-15T22:08:23.393-06:002011-12-15T22:08:23.393-06:00OK, I've been away from blogs for a bit and re...OK, I've been away from blogs for a bit and reading down posts. First of all, the parties (a different post) sound fun -- and what's wrong with cheese?!!! Everyone will devour your dish.<br /><br />Surgery -- glad your mom is coming. If you have the opportunity to get a recliner, think about it. I've had the sinus surgery. The first i time the packing was in three days, and I had to sleep sitting up because I couldn't breathe otherwise. Last time only a day, still slept sitting up. (As I did for six weeks with shoulder surgery). That's when I decided that if I have to buy more chairs, I'm getting a recliner! The surgery isn't bad, but I'm glad your mom is there to help take care of you. You'll want someone to. Not painful, just exceedingly annoying for about 24 hours or so. Hang in there. The good news is that it does help -- a lot. I've had it done twice and both times had a noticable difference.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-61206967936414521032011-12-15T02:19:45.169-06:002011-12-15T02:19:45.169-06:00I am so glad your mom will be there to help you.

I totally feel you on not wanting to inconvenience someone, but I also know that people WANT to help people who need help, especially when they are important people in our lives. <br /><br />I would probably offer to cab it as well. However, it will feel nice and calming to have your mom there for you. Moms are the best.

But you are right because it is silly and I know it's something I need to get over.<br /><br />And on another note, I hope your surgery goes well and you can get back to normal. As sick as you've seemed to have been lately, I have to imagine you've been pretty normal. So hopefully this does the trick and gets you feeling better!Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-44021839738456978302011-12-13T19:07:21.991-06:002011-12-13T19:07:21.991-06:00I hope the surgery goes well and you feel back to ...I hope the surgery goes well and you feel back to healthy normal afterwards.

Some people constantly ask others for help (even if not necessary) and take advantage of others generosity, but I do believe that everybody should ask for help when they really need it.... and I am so glad your Mom will be with you right after surgery.<br />When something like that happens, I am still the little girl that thinks Mommy will make everything better :)Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196296268895103846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-22716443753592135482011-12-13T15:47:29.139-06:002011-12-13T15:47:29.139-06:00I'm glad that you are getting this surgery, yo...I'm glad that you are getting this surgery, you NEED to be better! <br /><br />I can be bad about asking for help sometimes.

Now, I'm still too stoic at times, but know that I can lean on certain people just as much as I expect them to lean on me.<br /><br />I'm hopeful that this surgery provides you a boost in your health.

I do have a little bit of trouble asking people for help. I don't want them to feel bad and be an inconvenience. But I do always try to offer to help my friends because I know they may not be comfortable asking for help. My friend is getting married and I keep telling her that I am here for anything she needs!

Actually the worst part of it was that the sinus problems showed up again about 6 months later. I didn't have to get "packed", which was lucky. But they did fix a deviated septum which required two big plastic stents to be shoved up my nose. Not fun at all. But I was surprised how far up in there the plastic went. I think the recovery took me about 3 days. They go in there with a hammer and chisel.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-8430852261247494702011-12-13T07:44:12.789-06:002011-12-13T07:44:12.789-06:00Aww I'm sorry you have to have surgery, but ho...Aww I'm sorry you have to have surgery, but hopefully that will solve the problem once and for all.
