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.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
