Done with the doc.

Well, I am done with the doctor. He doesn't need to see me anymore.

I saw him today for my 4 week/1 month post op follow-up. He asked how I feel; remember I saw him 3 weeks ago. So I told him...

I'm beginning to feel really great. A little more every day.

Throat is almost completely rid of soreness. Occasionally has that feeling of fighting off a sore throat. Actually more like a dryness, and some itching. I can eat and drink anything now, though very cold liquids are irritating. Strange. I take the pain med only when absolutely necessary. Once or twice a day I take ibuprofen.

My nose is discharging some dried blood and crust. The doc said that's from surgery; poking around in there with surgery changes the consistency of the mucus. It will become normal again. I should be irrigating my nose with warm water and salt. I'll start doing that again. I should also be drinking a lot more water. I've been slacking.

I am sleeping better and deeper, more energy, less fatigue. Much less snoring (will probably never stop), no waking up gasping for air.

All in all he is very pleased with my healing and progress. He said it was perfect. I told him I couldn't be happier with my progress and how I feel. I am really really happy and pleased. This was definitely worth the pain.

I'm going back to the gym the first week in March. :)
