feeling better

Okay--I just had my pre-op appointment, so now I'm feeling a lot better about my upcoming septum repair surgery this Thursday. My main concern was about the packing (and its subsequent, rumored to be quite uncomfortable, removal), but it turns out that my doctor uses some sort of dissolvable packing material, so I won't even have to have it pulled.

Can I get an amen?

Amen!!!

I'm glad you feel better! Alex has Von Willebrand's disease which is a slow coagulation thing - not quite hemophilia. Anyway he had an epic nosebleed about 2 years ago and had his nose packed, and I was afraid to opine on your post, not knowing what your surgery entails. I will be sending healing thoughts your way this wee!

Wow. That sounds awful about Alex. Accidents would take on a whole new meaning with that condition.

Thanks for your good thoughts! I'm hoping the recovery will be swift.

AMEN! The packing removal sounds so bad I can't even come up with an adjective for it. So I'll repeat:

AMEN!!!
