I escaped….

Two and a half hours of surgery yesterday, now feel like 9 miles of bad Texas road, or supposedly that’s what I look like…

Take the worst sinus headache, the worst sore throat and throw in a broken nose… And that’s pretty much me right now. But I’m home with PP and Kaya, and friends, so it’s all good!

Regular posting will resume when I get off these meds… Wheeeee….

  1. I had mine worked on several years ago. It hurt worse than my knee and hip replacements. Take the pain meds ’til they’re gone! If you try to quit them, it’ll take a couple agonizing days to catch up on them.

  2. You’re doing it wrong. It’s bondo and bender. Here’s hoping that your choice of prescription meds and over the counter spirits does the trick.

  3. Dammit, son, was this a planned event, or did you fall off a ladder?

    Take a break and recover. We’ll be here when you get back.

  4. Yikes!! Follow orders, and feel better!! We will wait right here for you to get back on track…

    PS: Finished Rimworld…going now to Amazon to complete my homework and write a review. Ya left me hanging, so there had better be a “next one” coming along:)

  5. I have no idea how that feels and I am glad of it.
    Except for the sore throat.
    I must be living vicariously through you again.
    Uggghh.

  6. Had a surgical repair to an oft-broken nose once. That was enough. I decided that the next person to break my nose has to keep it, I’m tired of messing with it.

  7. Izzit gonna make you any purtier?

    Just sayin’

    Hoe you feel better soon.

  8. You’re lucky. Back in the days of the dinosaurs, a mil doc wanted to clean out my sinus cavities, by going in with a wire and digging aourd.

    Said F* that, Sir!.

  9. Damn guy…Wish I’d known in ATL! I’d have bought you a few medicinal drinks in advance…or at least gotten you something better for your birthday. 😉

    Get well soon.

  10. Hey Old NFO;

    Meh..it is an improvement….Seriously though, get better fast…and stay on top of the medication…getting behind the power/pain curve sucks.

  11. Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot is going on!! Holy smokers!! as Pancho would say to Cisco!! Get better soon Buddy!! I feel for ya’!!
    Blue skies!!,
    skybill-out

  12. Oft broken nose?
    Maybe a future story there.
    Take care.

  13. Feel better quickly & don’t even think of a trip the range.
    The concussion from firearm would REALLY hurt.

  14. sheesh! Some things can’t be unseen… .
    Seriously though, wishing you a speedy recovery.

  15. Wow! I hope you feel better quickly (or else that the pain meds make you not care about it for a while).

    At the very least you got Instalanched for Into the Green as a consolation–that should help.

  16. Trying to look like a bandit – FAIL. Google cowboy bandits and see how to put on a mask.

    Pray you feel better soon.

  17. Ouch! I would say that’s a good look for you, but ….

    Had my septum repaired and sinuses cleaned out about 20 years ago – the two things I remember most were that the worst pain came when the splints and packing had to come out, and that everyone told me my voice on the telephone sounded different (but not my voice in person), which was kind of weird.

    Hang in there – Feel better soon!

  18. All- Thanks! And trust me, staying on top of the pain meds… sigh…

    Posted from my iPhone.

  19. Could be worse, they could have compared you to California roads…..Just sayin’

    Hope you feel better soon.

  20. You look worse than you feel. Or something.

    Sorry you’re sick. Seriously, I’ll pray for you and your family.

  21. Like you and others, I had rhinoplasty done twice a long time ago. The worst part was having three feet of cotton packing pulled out of each nostril, covered in, for want of a better term, “guck”. And that first time blowing your nose after that is a new experience.
    But worth it in the long run.
    Stay well!
