Last night, when ENT was describing the two outcomes of today's sinus surgery, there was the lucky outcome (no fungus, can't breathe through my nose for a week or more) and the unlucky outcome (fungus, can't breathe through my nose for a week or more, and I'm in a precarious battle after the transplant).
For some reason, they missed what turned out to be the actual outcome, which was even better than the lucky one: no fungus, I should be able to breathe through my nose in a day, and they removed a clown car's worth of mucus, blood, crud, old packing, and other mysteries from my sinuses, left over from their earlier expeditions. I think of this as a delayed version of Carry In, Carry Out.
They did see something suspicious, but it's already checked out.
Tomorrow is Transplant Day.
Sounds like you're on a roll...keep it going. Praying for a successful transplant tomorrow.
