Sinus Surgery

Well, I just wanted to let those who knew and those who didn't know that recently I had sinus surgery. I found out last March that I had developed nasal polyps (yes, it does sound gross and it is). I could never see them because they were deep in my sinus, nevertheless they needed to go. They were only causing slight breathing problems, but basic medicine was not going to cure them and they were causing me to start having headaches and consistent stuffiness. So I put off the surgery until now, and everything went better than expected. What I had done was a complete right endoscopic frontal sinusotomy, right endoscopic ethmoidectomy and bilateral endoscopic maxillary antrostomy with tissue removal. Basically alot of technical words explaining that the sinus opening were enlarged, and polyps were taking out. I had been so nervous to have this done and I have heard numerous horror stories from people who have had it done. For those who are contemplating having this surgery, I say go for it. Recovery time flew by and everything is clear.I am so glad I did it.I was only down for about a day or so and really did not have much pain. My mom was a sweet heart and flew up to help out Instead of taking care of me, we just played around with the kids and hit up a few of my favorites here in GA such as the aquarium and Noah's Ark ( a small zoo).
