I went under the knife on the 14th of November for Surgery.
The name of it is a septoplasty which means I had surgery to
clear out the extra bone and cartilage in my nose so I can
breath better and hopefully help with my headaches. My
kids are telling everyone I had nose surgery. Now days
people question what "nose surgery" is all about. I
experienced this first hand when I went to my kids
parent teacher conferences. The teachers had been
wondering what was this nose surgery I had done.
I assured them it wasn't a "nose job". It's a medical
not cosmetic procedure. I still have my God given
state of the art Merryweather nose inherited by my
mother. Thanks Mom!
So How am I doing? I feel I am getting better everyday.
I feel blessed to have such a great support system. I
had my husband for four days. What a great help he
was. My family couldn't be here to help after that so I
have had to rely on great friends. I'm thankful to
everyone who brought food, their love, and support.
I wish I had great pictures of the surgery, but I don't.
So I guess it's left to the imagination. I also feel blessed
to not have much bruising. Some people who have
had it look like a raccoon with their black eyes. Can
you imagine the stories you could tell! So now I can
breath out of both nostrils. Yippee!! I haven't been able
to for as long as I can remember. The pain, pressure,
and headaches I will have to give more time. All and
all the I think the surgery will be a success!

We just had our baby (Evelyn Jane Softley...9lbs 2oz...21in) and this is the first time Dave has been able to take time off work. It's been so nice. I'm sure Rick was such a big help to have around. I hope recovery continues to go well for you.
