*UPDATE*
Kim had a heckuva day. We first got to the hospital just a tick after 9am. She was the scaredest I have ever seen her. Of course that's to be expected when all you know is that a Doctor is going to be removing material from your skull/nose/etc. through your nostrils.....material that you were born with.
We were whisked away to the pre-op prep room by about 9:15. They started an I.V. saline drip and had her slip into one of those super stylish "breezeway" robes. Of course, the nurse was unable to get the I.V. started on the first shot.....something was muttered about rhino-like skin and rolling veins. They wrapped her arms with toasty-fresh-from-the-oven blankets and gave it another whirl after a while. As luck would have it, the anesthesiologist wandered in to ask his series of questions and was suckered into administering the 18g I.V.
She was finally rolled out to surgery at or about 1:30pm. She was slated for an 11:30am chop job. At 1:40 I was messaged that she was under and they had begun surgery. Shortly before 3:00pm I met with the surgeon so he could discuss the surgery with me. Everything went well, but he did say that he was surprised by the thickness of bone and the lack of opening to her sinus cavities. He said due to her abnormal bone growth, horribly deviated septum, overly large turbinates, etc. that he was forced to remove an inordinate amount of material. I informed him that we expect nothing less than abnormal from Kim. He also mentioned that she should have had this surgery done about ten years ago.
Approximately 4:45pm they called me back to see Kim in recovery. She was in quite a lot of pain and scared by all the blood that had come out of her nose. The doc prescribed Ketek(antibiotic) and surgical M&M's(Lortab 500mg). She's also got to spray Afrin up her nose every 6 hours for the 3-5 days to help the bleeding subside. On top of that she has to spray saline in her nose ten times daily and apply nasal saline gel to the inside of her nose every evening. She's going to be one hurting unit for a few days.
On the bright side, her appetite for comfort foods such as candy corn, chocolate milk, Spaghetti-O's, and strawberry ice cream has not suffered any.
She's definitely been through the wringer and looks as if she's had the stuffing kicked out of her. The surgery was the easy part, now comes the recovery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I assure you, we both appreciate it.
