I am home!

It's a start. I'm packing down ice and cold apple juice, trying to avoid talking (I really would rather not talk at all, but the ENT told me I should try to anyway to help keep the muscles working and my jaw from stiffening up). Back of my throat is actually the worst for now being a tad swollen, the area where my tonsils were aren't bothering me too much.

I am going to be straight forward in saying that I was worried sick, so they gave me anti-nausea and some relaxants. What a relief! I also feel like the only weirdo who likes being put under, then again I love to sleep anyway soooo, yeah.

Swallowing isn't difficult right now either, the only problem is the area leading up to my sinus' where my adenoids were. Just a bit swollen so it's an awkward feeling up there.

The doctors gave me a humidifier, percocet, antibiotics, and some awesome numbimg lolipops. 0_0 I'd like to figure out how to numb my throat rather than my tongue, lol. Art to come later. For the moment I will sit here with Genesis on my lap taking up space.

My husband didn't have any need for packing in his sinus which I am sure he will be thankful for! They did put a splint up there though to keep it all from rearranging. I hope it works out for him, the poor man hasn't been able to breathe out of his nose, and I mean this quite literally, since he was born. Even the ENT told me it was a disaster area in there, I'm not going to doubt it at all. Anyway, according to the ENT he should be able to breathe normally now. :3

I may take a short nap after I have my beef broth thanks to my wonderful mother. Watered down of course! She is an absolute blessing. <3

Lastly, WOOAAAH NELLIE! Look at those caverns! I could easily fit an orange slice in each. *whistles* I am amazed. No, I will not take photos (though being me, I'd find it fascinating...) but I may draw what it looks like later. With base jumpers and all.

Edit:

Greg is home with a partial face mask to wear for 24 hours. It helps prevent too much bleeding. We now have two humidifiers going, soon to be three. Greg said his front teeth hurt. Not a big surprise since they had to go in and break the cartilage and bone inside his nose, I imagine the rest of his teeth will probably hurt too, but I am hoping it wont get too bad.

Gregory: Looking worse for wear...


Myself: Boy I look too chipper...
