My mom's been recovering from sinus surgery, so we relaxed and mainlined a lot of fannish television this weekend:

Both episodes of White Collar. We're both excited about this show, although not for precisely the same reasons. (Well, some of the same reasons. She giggled in the same places and remarked on the attractiveness of Matt Bomer.)

Do you think you will succeed?

Well, I made my quota yesterday; so far, so good.

I suppose if I run out of inspiration, I could always insert a cameo by Ho-Bob.

I'm sure Ho-Bob can fix broken refrigerators or HVAC systems. He probably has a plumber's crack and an annoying accent that takes at least 250 words to adequately describe.

so the sinus thing? newwaytowrite November 2 2009, 21:14:22 UTC

Did your mom have a deviated septum? I did and the surgery did me a world of good. Probably the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Although my mom's awesome ENT corrected my deviated septum a few years back, her septum is apparently fine. It was apparently everything else in her sinuses that required attention, including the reocurring polyps. Leading up to the surgery she hadn't been able to taste anything for months.

I couldn't agree more about the surgery! It was awesome. (At least, it was awesome once she pulled the plastic things out of my nostrils. I was not a fan of those.)

wish your mom well for me newwaytowrite November 3 2009, 00:18:45 UTC

It was not the surgery (apparently it is good thing we were out cold as the deviated septum surgery procedure is one of THE grossest sounding surgeries) that was awesome, and it was not the stuff packed up our nostrils that was awesome (although the relief the minute all that gauze was out was so glorious)-nope it was the greater breathing ability and how much better everything started to taste.

So was your septum problem due to an injury or were you one of those people (like me) who just had it develop that way?

I think I got mine done around age 25.

sinus surgery options anonymous November 3 2009, 19:19:48 UTC

Hi. I'm doing some research for MY mom, about surgery options. But first let me wish yours a speedy recovery!
She is looking at either the regular endoscopic sinus surgery or a balloon sinuplasty procedure. I was wondering what if anything you were told about her options.
Sorry if this is none of my business.
Thanks and have a great day.
