Surgery tomorrow
I go in tomorrow. Freaking out a little bit. Not much, but as I get older I get better at realizing when I'm really worrying about something, even if I don't actually look or act worried. I think I've spent my whole life worrying more about things than I ever let on to myself, or to anyone else.
Just had my final pre-appointment this morning. It's confirmed that in addition to the polyp removal, they are also to straighten my septum and open up some of my sinus cavities. No turbinectomy, which is good, because I didn't want to go to that extreme.
I get to spend a week with silicone splints inside my nose, which won't be very much fun. They don't completely block breathing, but they do significantly obstruct it. However, I've been dealing with significant obstruction for months, that's why I'm having the surgery! So it's not like it's anything new. :)
I have to sleep propped up for a few days, which also won't be much fun, but I've already got my painkiller prescription, so I'm sure I'll manage.
