Post-Op; Recovering.

I'm now on my 4th day of recovering from the endoscopic sinus surgery and septoplasty I had last Friday morning. I am feeling fine. Thank God and the doctor, I am not feeling pain. Friday and Saturday were two of the most difficult days of my life, not being able (wanting) to talk all throughout. When talked to, I only gave a nod or a shake of the head for yes or no questions. At times, I just didn't bother answering. My throat was hurting too much that I didn't eat almost the whole 2 days. But now I'm fine. I started feeling good when the tube/balloon inserted into my left nostril was removed on Sunday; my throat also stopped hurting that moment. I opted to go for a soft diet. I'm still eating porridge for lunch and dinner. My first non-soft-diet meal was yesterday when I had a burger for merienda. I just needed to have something else.

Tomorrow, I'm going back to the doctor for the check-up. I hope everything would be fine. No infections whatsoever. I just want to be and feel normal. I just want to feel as normal as what I felt that very moment the balloon was removed. Ah, relief. I am happy I decided to have him do the operation. I don't trust anybody else to do it. Perhaps I just fear having a less competent ENT do it for me. Of course, I don't have a basis in saying the others are less competent but knowing that couple of people told me he is very good, he is the best, then despite it being more expensive (I suppose), then what the heck, we're talking about safety and well-being.

I am looking forward to that day when I'd completely feel normal again. He said it'd take about 2-3 weeks of recovery period. Thank God in advance.
