Surgery Update

So I was wrong... way wrong. Now I have to have nasal reconstructive surgery that includes a Septoplasty (straightening a deviated septum by removing cartilage and bone)and Turbinate Surgery (bone and mucus membrane being removed). So that dreadful, miserable packing I was trying to avoid will be definite along with a splint. This by itself could cause throat dryness and irritation... but add that with the tonsilectomy I'm going to have and we're screaming for the morphine drip. I think I'm going to request to be put under for say, 4 days until the packing and splint can be removed. I had my nose packed almost 10 years ago, and I can remember it vividly. I would rather birth 4 children consecutively than have my nose packed for days on end. I guess the good thing is I probably won't notice that my throat is killing me since I'll be so distraught about my nose. I need some anxiety medicine... Badly. I'm already freaking out about this and I don't even know what day it will be yet. Not to mention that I've thrown up every single time I've had surgery and throwing up while having a packed nose is unbearable. I think I would rather not be able to breathe.

Airport Excursion

So I'm leaving soon to pick Shaun up from the airport... I tell you. That guy travels more than anyone I know. He is in DC for some ANS conference and is staying with Charity and Steve. He is about to tell his advising Prof. that he doesn't want to work with her anymore. He is really upset about the whole situation. She has been working him to death and never ceases to ask for more. It's absolutely ridiculous. But I can't wait to see him. I just want to leave now so I can get there already. Course I doubt his plane as landed yet. I need to print off the latest version of The Program for him to see and critique. I'm hoping that we will untable the discussion on the red velvet cake with white icing... that would be great.

Surgery

So I've been sick now for what feels likes months, but has been about 3 weeks. I've been the doctor's twice and have been put on weeks of psycho antibiotics. I'm finally feeling a little better. But the last time I was in I was told I have to have surgery and meet with a surgeon. Not major surgery really, tonsilectomy, tubes put in ears and possible adneiodectomy. But surgery none the less, which I hate. Hopefully I won't have to spend any time in the hospital for it. So, wish me luck.

Wedding Progress

I have made much progress on the Wedding front since my last post. I have picked the music... we're having a brass quintet. I'm walking down the isle to "Trumpet Voluntary" by Clarke (notice the name). I have scheldued our taste testing which will take place in a couple of weeks. I have made the first draft of the program. I have almost all of the addresses for the guestlist, and have contacted everyone that I don't have one for so I can get it. I have blocked the hotel rooms. We have a photographer, 2 actually. So really the only big thing left is my dress... oh I really don't like shopping. Crystal has offered to take me to the outlet malls in hopes of finding a great deal.
