Recovering Nicely
Still recovering, but definitely feeling a lot more human than I did a week ago. It’s amazing to be sleeping on my stomach again with no CPAP and no breathing strips. Wish I had a home sleep apn...
Ice Cream, Wine, Candles... and Boogers
I slept well enough two nights ago with no breathing strips or anything, or at least as well as a 60-year-old can sleep. Due to there still being swelling and scarring in my nose that’s going to...
Pissers
A real pisser is the local dental place I called to ask if they did mouth guards for sleep apnea, who said no. Then they called while I was trying to hit the road, but I couldn’t get to the phon...
Success!
Stents and the stitches holding them in are now out (no pain, just a nasty taste from the lidocaine), and I can already breathe much better even though I’m not fully healed yet! Swollen turbinat...
ViviBook
Still recovering from septo surgery. It’s been long, tiring, and slow. I’m definitely getting too old for this shit. Please consider joining and reading this AI-generated book based on a synops...
The Aftermath
OK, now I should finally get caught up. As I said yesterday afternoon…Writing has been hard since I couldn’t see well, and speech-to-text was having trouble understanding me with my nose packed ...
In the OR
Written on the 26th…I feel like I’m never going to feel human again and get back to myself! I’m so backed up in my writing, and even after just a couple of days, my coloring, VR, and scented can...
Prepping for Surgery
Written on the 25th… Finally got my surgery, and now I’m going to try to get caught up. I was giddy with relief when I saw the text message saying to show up at St. Joseph’s the following mornin...
Before Surgery
I had my septo surgery, and it’s going to take me a few days to get caught up. I’m exhausted and in recovery. Here’s what I wrote right before surgery… On the way to Rhonda’s now. It’s so stupi...
It's a Go
Septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery is a go for tomorrow morning! It’s gonna hurt but if it’s going to give me my sleep and my life back, I don’t care. I’ll check back in as soon as I no...
58
If all goes well without any unforeseen delays, I should be roughly 58 hours away from surgery. Damn, do I wish I could snap my fingers and jump ahead in time! The waiting, stress, and exhaustio...
True Crime and Nane
Tom’s tentative plan is not to renew his license when it expires in 2030. He’s eagerly awaiting the day he’s not able to drive because he hates driving so much, lol. He also insists that an Uber...
The Waiting Game
As exhausted as I am, I want to write while things are fresh in my mind. Slept shitty, and part of it was my own dumb fault because I overdid the estrogen again. Because of this, I was up for fu...
Lab
Can’t say how often I’ll do updates here but they’ll be brief and to the point compared to LJ, for ex (link is on my profile). Had my blood work done today, seeing my doctor Monday, then I just...
Surgery
Decided I missed writing here publicly. Surgery is on Tuesday, and I’ve been going through hell in the meantime with one appointment after another. Every time I’m told there’s nothing left to do...
