this blog sucks

It's been 7 weeks since septopalooza and I can't believe how it's changed my life! I know that sounds cheesy, but it's so true. I had a little soreness up until last week, but now the only remaining side effect is that my left nostril hurts a little when I rub my nose. That's the side where my doctor did the turbinate reduction.

After sniffling nonstop day in and day out to the point of driving myself and Kev (not to mention my family, friends and co-workers stuck sitting next to me - I'm talking to you, Sara, and before her, Jen) crazy, I no longer sniffle every 5 seconds! I used to blow my nose so much that I carried tissues around with me at home. Gross, I know. We went through at least 4 boxes of tissues every week. I'm convinced that the Puffs Plus revenue is down solely because those 4 boxes now last us a month.

I spent years thinking I had bad allergies and didn't know what was wrong with me. I'm so thankful to have found a doctor that pinpointed and corrected the problem. All the pain, swelling, discomfort and other post-op surprises (I'll spare you the gory details) were completely worth it!
