Getting A Nose Job

I went to an ENT Specialist today to examine my nose and throat. There is not much we can do about the throat. I have a huge tongue - oh well. Removing the tonsils is possible, but he didn't suggest it, so neither was I.

The nose is a different matter. I have never had good air flow thru my nose. Heck, I've never had average air flow through my nose.

The reason is: my nasal turbinates are huge. Not just large - huge - making airflow nearly impossible. Here is a few links:

The soonest I can have the surgery is May. The AT&T strike is making scheduling difficult. Some divisions have been told "No Time of until September".

He says that I will be amazed at the difference.

I did a lot of re-arrangement of the apartment today, in preparation for Emily's arrival. Still lots more to do. When she gets here we'll do an IKEA day to get her a bed.
