It's over....

the nasal surgery that is! Thought I'd write a quick update on here while I am now incapacitated and resting my head tonight!

I had my nasal surgery done on Tuesday morning, and everything went well. I stayed overnight at the hospital which was nice mainly for Jason so he didn't have to worry about me once I was home. My nose bled for a few hours afterwards, but nothing serious. It's just nice that he didn't have to deal with seeing all that, and the staff had me on antiobotics and fluids etc throughout the night. It was nice for me too to be honest, just letting someone look after 'you' for a change and not worrying about what's for dinner, or if Kiki has done her homework etc! I really needed the rest afterwards.

The hospital was lovely, brand new building, I had my own room, and for meals they gave you a menu and told you to just order when you wanted something... it was like room service :-) I stayed in bed all afternoon, had my meals brought to me, stayed up late watching tv, hee hee, it felt like a mini vacation! I came home yesterday afternoon, feeling a little week and a little sore in my nose, but much better than I thought I would.

This morning I managed to get up as normal, take Kristen to school, then headed off to see my ENT again at his office, because he had to remove the splints from my nose! This was what I thought was going to be the painful part, but thankfully it wasn't half as bad as I had expected. From his office I thought I would head to the grocerie store and get a bit of fresh fruit in and some other stuff. It was half way around the store that I realized I might be doing too much too soon. I just started moving slower, and it was harder to focus my head. I think it is the swelling that is causing that feeling. You just don't realize you are all swollen up there when you have no bruising to show for it.

So I get home, slowly put the groceries away, then decide to 'slowly' unload the dishwasher, then finally realize I NEED to sit down and rest!! By the time I had to head out to pick Kristen up my head felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool. It's steadily got worse over the afternoon, so now I've confined myself to bed, with my head layed back on the pillows and I'm typing this on the laptop.

Why do we always do too much too soon? I guess I just didn't realize I needed to take it so easy. But now I know I should.

So that's my little update for tonight. I feel ok, just overdoing things has made me a bit light heaed so I shall rest... rest... rest.

Until next time.........
