Good thing you did not get it packed. When I had my sinus roto rooted about 15 years ago. I bled like a stuck pig and was packed with what seemed like 100 meters of gauze. I could not breath well until the stents were pulled out. I did not realize how big the fookin stents were.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Glad your doing well.

Glad to hear things went well, Ranger Ron. Not having to be packed is a blessing! Just the thought gives me the shudders...

Sure hope this fixes what ails you in that department... and as for the other - just hope the doc is careful! :shock:

Doing well again today except just have no energy and can hardly keep my eyes open. I did sleep better last night but need to get caught up a little.

Have to irrigate twice a day with a pint of solution. I think he is going to have me continue that for 6 weeks. I guess it helps keep so much scar tissue from forming.

Anyway, I appreciate the concerns and well wishes, but at my age I should get a little more respect. :wink:

Later, going to take a nap.

I had mine done late 2006, the worst part of it was the after effects from the drugs.

Might give that a try. Man, with all the advise around here, don't really need a dr. :lol: :lol:

GOT MY STIMULUS CHECK THIS AFTERNOON......$1,200.00. Guess I will pay the doctor bill.
