Going under the knife tomorrow

[womzilla]

I'm finally have the upper respiratory surgery I've been putting off for a decade--repair of my deviated septum, scraping the turbinates, and widening the openings to several of my sinuses. With luck, this will lead to less snoring, fewer colds, and a better sense of smell. This is all definite out-patient stuff, and my doctor thinks I'll be back on my feet in a day, but he's an optimist. Online activity may be reduced for the next few days.

Years ago, when I first started seeing the ENT, because I was still getting frequent ear infections, he started me on a nasal anti-inflammatory. About ten days later, my sense of smell was much stronger than it had been--in August, in New York. Yeah, definite mixed blessing.
