I'm told this will be a very painful recovery, but I'm really looking forward to the end result. By comparison this is a pretty minor surgery, which is alright by me. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction towards a happier, healthier me.

This is four procedures that I can't list individually. The gist is fixing my deveated septum and taking out my huge tonsils.

Any prayers are appreciated, I'll be back once the meds have worn off a bit.

Thanks all!

"suck it up buttercup" you asked for the surgery.

No seriously though, I had the same procedure for the deviated septum last year. Recovery was a little painful. Definitely don't post on the meds. My wife said that i was having crazy conversations with her and I had no recollection of any of them.

The little water bottle apparatus they give you is $$$$$$$! When you can use it make sure that you do. It feels great and releases the pressure. The bad part is that you'll flush out your nose and then like 30 min you'll bend over for something and water will still pour out of your nose.

Be advised, that your voice is going to change. About a week after my surgery I started calling people that I had known for years and they didn't even recognize my voice. Pretty weird. My wife never noticed it but she was there every day, so it probably changed little by little. Just a heads up.

You'll be able to actually smell everything, and you'll be able to taste your food every time!!!! This was the best thing I ever decided to do. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Expect to be in pain for the first two days. Lots of pressure, I had two black eyes as well. I looked like someone beat my ass. But it will go away.

A week later you'll go back for a follow up. Surprise... They will numb your nose airways again and then pull out some gauze that you probably didn't even know was there...My dr never told me they were doing that or maybe they did, and I was just too medicated. You're gonna be super high when they finally let you leave. When you're coherent enough, ask your wife about the crazy stuff that you will undoubtedly say. It's funny poo. About 2 weeks later, From that point fwd, it's like you're a new man!

Congrats and best wishes for a speedy recovery. I still have my tonsils, so I can't help you out there.

      SC won the ACC title the week before in Clemsons own house. Committee was worried about optics over talent.

      Brooks wasn’t the worst offensive draft mistake the panthers made this year

      It's crazy how folks on the huddle can draft better than our highly paid scouts.  I know I saw several mocks with the first 3 selections going Ladd, Frazier and Wilson like the above post.  Heck, one of them may have been mine.  It seems that the scouts go into paralysis by analysis.  Ladd might not be the ideal weight or height, it's tabo to draft centers high, Wilson had past injuries.  All that said, those dudes just dominated at their respective positions. Our scouting department and Morgan need the K.I.S.S montra--keep it simple stupid. STOP overthinking it.

      Brooks wasn’t the worst offensive draft mistake the panthers made this year

      This team has long had an allergy to the obvious pick. They take an XL and think they can coach him up to be the next megaton or DK. Brooks to be the next Peterson. Burns to be the next LT. They pick dudes and play them outside of their natural position. They draft for need, get desperate, pick the flawed guy, and the results speak for themselves. They go to the store jonesing for a ribeye, the store is sold out except for the ‘manager’s special’ … and end up with a toilet of puke later that night…  whereas the filet that was sitting right next to it got some other dude laid.  The obvious pick with no need of coaching up has done them pretty well. Moose. Peppers. Kuechly. Davis. Gross. Jenkins, etc.  Sometimes obvious is just obvious. Consistently missing on first and second rounders gets them exactly where they are. Loser teams, devoid of talent and a revolving door at head coach.  WR: Pick the guy who can catch the damn ball. DE: pick the guy who can play the run well. Pass rush is nice, but playing the run is better.  center: smart big guy who doesn’t miss assignments.  tackle: good pass protector first. Run blocker second. If you have a really good QB and receivers that can catch, the running game will open itself up by default.    It’s not THAT hard, right? Diamonds in the rough are usually only quartz. Stop picking up dudes whose flaw is THE primary skill required for their position, thinking that you’ve got some sort of magical staff. Go BPA with the healthy guy who just flat out gets it done better than anyone else still available…. Except for a RB or special teamer. Yes BPA is boring, but it stacks the team with legit talent.    That’s what I’m going to call their reaches from now on. The f-in manager’s special. Break out the cast iron griddle, Montreal steak seasoning, and some avocado oil.
