Yup, I'm going for it! Golly I just checked my BP a few minutes ago (after eating a fudge sickle) and its only 142/78Prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
Please tell me there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Did the procedures correct all your issues???I feel for you. I had the Septoplasty, Turbinate Reduction, and a Uvulectomy done almost two years ago. Thoughts and Prayers headed your way.
I'm a youngster at 69.Wow, that’s an incredible story. I read a couple of your posts and had to go all the way back to to initial post.
I didn’t see your age anywhere but you are right about what a gift good health is.
Last December 20th I’m eating an egg McMuffin at work before punching in and I feel nauseated. I stop eating. A minute later I’m paralyzed from the waste down. Not able to move feet or toes at all. That lasts about a minute and goes away. Still nauseated I punch in but don’t feel right. After an hour I drive home, just to embarrassing to vomit at work. I get home and my retired RN wife was luckily home. She said I looked dead gray. I said let me sit for 10 or 15 minutes before calling paramedics. She said to herself “yeah right”. I end up on a helicopter to Cleveland Clinic main campus with a dissected aorta. It head two slits in it each about 3/4” long. Fortunately it’s a three layered tube of sorts. 11 hours of surgery and a dacron tube replacing the original equipment.
10 weeks off work and resume normal living with a weight limitation.
I was pretty sure an air rifle was my option to keep shooting but I’m fortunate even my CVA Paramount is tolerable.
All the best to your recovery. By comparison, other than my wife saving my life, my ordeal was easy. Prayers your way.

I'm doing a world better this morning, even with all the remaining "items" in my nose and sinus. I get all that removed tomorrow morning, which can't come soon enough.
65 here and should be good for a few thousand more miles.I'm a youngster at 69.
When I was working the janitor that cleaned my office and I were friends. He kept my office cleaned and had a place to "escape" for a nap if needed. LOL
A guy came through a couple times a week with burritos that everyone would buy. Best stuff ever. Anyway that morning John and I finished our burritos and were just talking hunting, when he started coughing. A really bad cough. He mentioned he must have gotten some of the hot sauce down the wrong hole. His coughing didn't stop and then he complained about his elbows hurting him like hell. He didn't look good and yup, kind of gray too. The shortened version........... he was having a heart attack. The plant nurse took over and he was sent to ER. Coughing and hurting elbows and was having the big one!?? He made it 5yrs before he had his last IIRC he was 48.
OH MY! First, I had no clue how large those nasal stents were and yes, I'm already breathing through my nose like never before.Yes, there is.
When the doctor pulled out my nasal stents, I had never breathed so easy through my nose.
