Through the nose

At my post-op checkup today, the surgeon debrided my sinuses. Those of you who are familiar with the term “debridement” just winced; those of you who are not, you don’t want to know.

It was very unpleasant.

Still, while I feel terrible, I’m also progressing. They gave me the very best pain drugs that I hope to not be taking much longer. Best case scenario: In a year my voice will be so smooth people will think I’m the illicit offspring of James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman … if you can picture that in your head.

It felt like that right there happened in my head.
