A bit overzealous the last few days. After sitting on the couch for so long you just wanna do stuff. Consequently had a two hour nana-nap today…Also when you are up and about doing stuff you forget to drink enough water. What is it with needing so much water???
General pain has been good, pretty much [...]

My head had been feeling like a hangover, so dehydration was still an issue. Another factor of the salt thing is that, when you’re dehydrated, your body doesn’t absorb plain water very well. That’s why sports drink has a certain amount of salt in it. So I made a few of my [...]

I’m a little worried about my sinuses drying out. I went and read a bit more about the surgery, it looks like the thing still in my nose is a piece of Gelfilm in my middle meatus, of course I should have known!? Whatever that is, it’s supposed to stay moist so the [...]

Woke up feeling at least functional today. Had a panadeine forte last night at bedtime, which meant I didn’t wake up sore in the middle of the night which helped, but I think also that I have passed some healing threshold. I’m not great by any means, but I’m able to get up and [...]

Day 2 and 3 were basically the same. Mainly characterised by total lack of energy. I blogged about one of the movies I had watched, then needed to have a rest afterwards! I was still a zombie on the couch watching movies, even holding a conversation seemed like mental hard work.

Once I finally got to sleep after my midnight observation session, I slept well, apart from waking up at 4am when my drip bag emptied and the alarm went off, argh. Woke up earlyish, do you want some morphine on no just codeine will be fine I don’t feel too bad. Breakfast arrived, [...]

I was looking through site logs this morning, and I’ve had a lot of hits lately from people searching for ‘Sinus Surgery Recovery Blog’. So since there’s clearly demand, I thought I’d write a bit about each day as I go. Movie reviews will continue later too. For the weak of stomach, I’ll [...]

First movie I watched was off my own list, Walk the Line, based on the autobiographies of Johnny Cash. I really liked this, Johnny Cash is none too clean of reputation, but pulled himself out of a hole and got it back together. It would be interesting to read the actual stories as [...]

Well, for all my nervousness it was all very routine. As Bernie pointed out to me the night before, the time between checking in and actually going to surgery is the worst.
The anaesthetist was a very happy fellow, unsurprisingly hehe, and he hooked me up with a little something to relax me, I barely [...]

Here are some links for while I’m in hospital. In no particular order :
Fan site for Milky, the milk carton in Blur’s Coffee and TV film clip
How annoying is positive thinking?
zefrank made an Earth sandwich, and created a tool to work out the exact opposite side of the world (for placement of the two [...]
