Greetings my Best Buddies,
My sinus surgery went well yesterday, but I am sure out of it. I am using saline rinse and Tylenol to avoid opiate medications. I feel bloated and heavy so I know it will take a few days to feel better. I am home from work but still getting phone calls - irritating. I miss the gym...who would believe it? My food is off a little, too. I am taking antibiotics which upset my stomach. I hope I feel well by the end of the week.

Oh god sinus surgery is terrible. I had those plastic things in my nose and those tampon things, had to shoot water up there 3 times a day. I lost 10 lbs during recovery, even though I was in bed the whole time. Glad yours went well. Mine was complete hell. When everything got pulled out I couldn't believe all the crap they crammed in there

Glad the surgery went well and that it's behind you. Hope your R-Sox are doing better than my Cubs in DC... I'm starting to be really aggravated. Be gentle with yourself and let yourself heal.

@downs82 - I had sinus surgery about six years ago and they used all the packing, but not this time! It was a new procedure for polyp removal. Less bleeding and no packing as far as I can tell.

Please rest, relax, and heal! I'm glad you'll be breathing better and be feeling better in no time! I'm sure the gym misses you too!

Thank you all - I am doing well today. I still feel the bloat though, and the Idiot Box is up five pounds! But I know it is temporary from the medicine.
|
Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery.
