Sinus surgery successful

I'll be brief because I'd rather not get gross.

I was prepared. I put on good underwear. I wore a skirt and a red top, blazer, and sandals so I wouldn't have to worry about stains. This turned out to be a major win.

The sinus surgery went well. I came in with a killer sinus headache and awoke without one. Dr. Burt said that despite my diligent cleaning of my passages with a neti cup this morning it was "gross." It took me a long time to eat afterwards because I had to keep going to the bathroom to change dressings. I'm finding the easiest things to eat are those that are frozen liquids, such as ice cream and sorbet, preferably without chunks of stuff to choke on while I try to breathe and eat at the same time.

Keep telling - yours is the first of its kind I've ever had anyone tell me about (and I'm curious - this may be in my future, too).

WIN WIN WIN. Ben & Jerry's IS your friend! (And many hope for more awesome in the near future.)

Yes, seconding all other commenters (and replying to Robin June because that icon is made of WIN.)
