nose surgery

Being nervous and worried turned out to be a pretty silly thing when it came to my nose thing. I go in there and wait for an hour and a half which of course built up my nerves (which are of steel ). Chris came with me and sat there in the waiting room for support. We were almost homicidal by the time one of the other patient's got called back. A couple came in toting their young boy and of course he needed to find something to do that would annoy the entire waiting room. He pulled out his little Game Boy SP and proceedes to make every adult in the room wish they could pull their hair out. His parents have obviously never heard of such things as ear phones because he starts playing his Mario Brothers game at full volume. I could see every adult there glaring at the oblivious parents for the entire 20 minutes he played his game. Chris, trying not to be rude and/or go absolutely crazy begins to text message me although I am sitting right next to him. My first message was "Can I steal that stupid thing and break it?" I was confused because I was highly involved in a very important game of solitaire. I then get "I am going to be singing that stupid song all night if I can't break it!" Now I get it... I am blond enough for that to have taken a few moments to sink in. I smiled at Chris and told him he will be fine. My next message was "Ear phones! They can afford a 30 dollar game and not 10 dollar ear phones?" I looked at Chris and said that I was busy playing a very complicated game and to figure it out himself. Luckily the boy's parents got called back at this point because I could see Chris was going to snap at any moment. So we sit there, and we sit there, and we sit there. This doctor sometimes has a long wait because he is very good and will take as much time as needed to figure out what is going on even if he has to make other patients wait.
I finally get called back to the room and the nurse sits me down in their funny chairs. Chris asked me what the doctor was going to do to me. I could't remember what he had called it, all I knew is that he was going to put something in my nose and take something out. We see another woman get taken into the room next to us and the Dr goes in there. I can hear them talking about her getting a shot and that she had to follow a liquid diet for 3 days. I then hear her gasp and cry out in pain. I was ready to book it out of there at that. Hearing his say shot made me sit up but hearing her cry made me start to get up. Chris tells me to sit down and that I will be fine. Yea right, you have someone shove a needle in your nose and see how you like it. When the woman is done she is happy and acting like nothing ever happened. All I could think was there had better be some majorly good drugs in that shot.
My turn. The Dr comes in and gives me a spray in each nostril. That was thrilling, am I done? Not a chance, not my luck. So the Dr asks me if I wanted to know the results of my sleep study. I was like, not really. I would rather believe that I am just a bad sleeper. He tells me that my problem is snoring. Chris says that he has never heard me snore. The Dr laughs at him and says he must be able to sleep through a train wreck because the tech heard me. He said that the snoring wakes me up and therefore I don't get to REM sleep. It isn't very lady like to snore is running through my head as I continued to look at the needle the nurse had just walked in with. I shut my eyes and the Dr tells me to open them! I was like you have got to be kidding. You want me to see that thing go in my nose, how nice. He said that it will keep me from jerking away if I can see what is coming. Not likely.
He sticks some plier like things in my nose and begins to inject me with my local. I didn't feel a thing much to my relief. After numbing me up he sticks another needle like thing in my nose and it begins to pulse. I can feel every pulse in my front teeth and it felt like someone was knocking on my tooth. Who's there? After a minute this thing begins to burn and I begin to shake. He finishes with the one side and moves on to the other. He does exactly the same thing on the other side. I am done! I was beginning to think he had just held the needle there and pushed until I felt burning but then my nose starts to bleed. Proof that he did more then just stand there and look cool. All done, no more procedures and no more snoring he said. Yea, I am a lady again...well almost.
No pains, I was told I can't blow my nose so of course I feel like I need to. I bled for a minute and that was it. Now I am supposed to be trying this thing out but can't sleep. Damn it! All that torture and my brain says haha, nope, you can't sleep. Jerk.
I will just have to see how this works out another night or in the few hours I have before the boys wake up. All I have to say is that it feels really weird to me that I can breathe through both nostrils. How does everyone do it without going crazy? I don't feel winded or stuffy which is odd. So, I am normal now. Or at least a little bit closer then I was. He didn't make my nose smaller, dang. I am going to try to sleep in a minute here. If my body decides that it likes this whole being able to breathe thing I think that it is going to be difficult to wake me up in the morning.
