Today's surgery was a success.

Went in at 7:15 AM for a 7:45 AM appointment. The volunteer at the station pulled out my paperwork and asked me to take a seat. At 8:00 AM I hadn't been called, and apparently, the older gentlemen lost track of what he was doing and refiled my paperwork. They rushed me through and I was in the prep area by 8:15.

The hospital failed to to their pre-op call so we spent a little time going over those necessary things. By 9:00 AM I was getting "something to make me drowsy" and the next thing I remember is the recovery room at 11:00 AM. The Wife said the Doctor said my septum was pretty well messed, but all is now corrected.

No major pain, just a little discomfort. I was breathing really well until about 3:00 this afternoon and the swelling seemed to kick in. On top of that I think I'm coming down with a cold or something. I'm pretty stuffy now, with what I would call sinus headaches. I don't feel the silicone splints at all.

Earlier today I responded to a couple of work emails. I probably should have read one a little more thoroughly. I ate some crow on that one, but fortunately I was able to blame the meds.

Sleeping on my back with my head elevated this week won't be all that much fun.
