I went back to the ENT today and she showed me my “impressive” CAT scan. I call it impressive because that’s what she called it (the Dr.) and she said it was probably one of the worst septum deviations that she’s seen in a while. The other ENT in the office was there when we were looking at the CT images and he turned to look at it and I believe his words were “Awesome images–those are the patients that you just want to fix and help–you can’t let them live life like that!”
Anyway, the surgery is scheduled for Thursday May 15th and she is basically doing 3 surgeries in one. She is doing the surgery to fix the deviated septum, then she’s doing a turbinate surgery (still in the nose) and then she’s going to roto rooter my sinus and clean them all out because I just can’t get rid of this sinus infection. And according to her I won’t unless I have this surgery because, with my septum the way it is, there is no where for it to go – it’s just stuck there. So that’s the fun I’m about to go through.
We’re praying the surgery will go well and fix the “impressive” problem.
