On the road...

Went back to the gym today! WhooHoo! I just recently signed up for the gym, one by my work, so I can go at lunch. I did go the two weeks before my surgery. I went about 4 times a week. I missed a week and half because of my surgery. So, it was nice to get back to the gym.

I had my follow up appointment yesterday with my ENT doctor, for my Septoplasty (deviated septum) and polyp removal surgery. That took a while. Once the nurse called me in and asked me how everything was going, I waited in the room for 45 minutes before the doctor came in. When the doctor was there he looked at my nose and said he was going to clean it up. He sprayed my nose with medicine and something to help shrink the tissue. He left for a while to let the meds take effect. He was gone for a while. The nurse actually came in and said “What is he doing to you?” I said, he sprayed me and said he would be back. When she walked out she said, she thought I was going to end up going to lunch with them. *Ha!* When he came in he got his tools ready and the suction machine. He got these really long tweezers and was pulling scabs, as he was pulling them; he was saying they weren’t ready. Ya, you think? Ouch! Then he went to use the suction machine and it wasn’t working. So, then I had to wait for another room to open up. Went to the other room and then that machine didn’t work. Grrrr! The nurse was able to get it going. So, he started working on my nose. He got his tools and pulled on some scabs, scrapped and did some suctioning. He doesn’t want me to bleed (a lot), so he only did a partial cleaning. He said I am not completely ready so he wants me to come back in a week. I still have to do the saline solution 8-10 times a day. They also gave me a different spray I have to do twice a day (morning and evening).
