Here’s the septoplasty update. My nose seems to have completely healed, but there are some post-operative swellings that refuse to die down. I believe the technical term is “edema”. In any case, they must be dealt with, and so the surgeon’s prescribed all manner of pills and nasal sprays.
The side-effect: insomnia! Sleeping at 3 AM and waking up at 6 AM makes it only the partial form of insomnia, as opposed to the full Fight Club kind. You might think I’m getting a lot done with all this spare time, but that’s not true. You feel as tired as you do without any sleep, so it’s not exactly helping the productivity factor.
Luckily, I only have to take these blasted pills for another few days, and then I should be back on track. The sprays and whatnot have to be continued for a long time, though. I dislike complications. However, I’m allowed to exert myself now and have been hitting the gym three times a week, as always.
Oh, and Happy Canada Day!
