Satanus, got your p/m...at least you can still type--no brain damage! LOL
In answer, I thought that I might just share the grizzly details for everyone to enjoy Who knows? Maybe we can turn this into "what's the worst surgery experience you've ever had?" thread.
My sinus surgery was for a congenitally deviated septum, which caused sleep apnea. So this doctor goes in and clips and reams my sinus (left side), sends me home with instructions about how to blow salt-water up my nose every 4 hours...and a prescription for some fairly decent pain killers. Jeez!
After a few days, in his office, he laid me back on the table, pulled out some forceps that looked like they were about 3 feet long, and "extracted some peripheral materials." I almost puked, while he laughingly told my wife that "the guys always have a hard time with this!" I really think he was rather enjoying himself.
Anyway, after a couple of weeks, everything was good. Funny thing, though: Up to that point, I'd never been able to breathe through my left nostril. After the surgery, I would keep feeling this warm spot on my left lip, and all I could think was that I had a roll of snot dripping out; it was just the warm air of my breath, which I'd never experienced. roflmao
Good to know that you're on the mend; perhaps my own escapade has provided a bit of amusement for your recovery. Just don't laugh toooooo hard...at least not yet, eh?
And yeah, I know that guys ain't supposed to do this to other guys, but what the heck? Here's a to ya.
