Nose progress
I had another followup appointment with the ENT today, and it was a distinct improvement on the last one. He didn't actually have much to do this time, so I'm cleared for skiing as soon as there's enough snow (I am optimistically predicting a week from today, though I may be too busy with Strange Things to take full advantage next week) and flying in time for the christmas/new year trip. The recovery's not quite finished, but I'm on the home stretch now and that's a relief.
