I am having minor surgery done on my right nostril/sinus/septum/schnoz today to fix a messed-up situation caused by the 2006 bike accident.
update: The septoplasty took three hours this afternoon- I have a moustache bandage and two big black eyes. Not video was shot.
First rule in minor surgery: don’t be an all-knowing weenie and watch the procedure on YouTube. There are things that need not be known.
Second rule: unconsciousness is a good thing when chisels and silver hammers are involved. Do this in a tent — as Uncle Fester says — and welcome to the Civil War.
Third rule: any time you tell someone that you are about to have nose surgery the conclusion is either rhinoplastic vanity or a past problem with the devil’s dandruff.
Bottom line: I am going to be a vegetable the remainder of the weekend with 12 feet of gauze stuffed upside my head. By Monday I should be pawing at the ground and breathing through flared nostrils like a stallion.
Good luck!
Are you going for for the Sissy Spacek or Jimmy Durante look?
My first thought was neither vanity nor powder. You have no use for either. I went directly to your brother, Tom, pounding on you as a child.
Or your misguided impression a few years back that you, on a bicycle, could win a joust with a car.
Oh, yeah, post pictures. We want close-up before and afters
Is the Flip camcorder making the trip with you? If you got video of your own surgery you would be a legend in the family. Does Elliot have a project due for advanced documentary?
Jeez–sounds awful. Hope they give you plenty of meds and that you don’t feel like shit too long. Good luck.
Owie!! Feel better soon!
