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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
