Could be the best birthday present to myself ever...

So in short I've started a 6 week trial of various steroids, sprays and rinses to see if it can cure my Anosmia that I've had since I was born. Earlier on in the week I attended an ENT Specialist for the first time about this, don't ask me why I'm only looking into this now.

Seemingly I have chronic Rhinosinusitis and a deviated septum. He prescribed the above 6 week course to see if that will help with the Rhinosinusitis and in the mean time I've to go in for a CT Scan on Thursday, my birthday (11/08) of all days.

Interesting times ahead that's for sure. To smell for the first time would indeed be a present to remember, and for most that's something you can't comprehend I'm sure.

Freshly cut grass, roast chicken, bread baking and all these other smells I hear about all the time but have no idea what they are like.

P.S.A. - WARNING GRAPHIC PICTURE BELOW

So in short the tonsillectomy went well. It's a very quick procedure which thankfully I was put under for (standard). I was admitted to hospital on the 11/01/11 and got out on the 13/11/11. I'm on a heavy course/routine of pain killers and antibiotics which make the pain bearable but the only downside is when they wear off. When they do.... SHEER AGONY.

Anyway there is roughly a 14 day recoup time and in the long run the whole procedure is for the best. Thank God my only real medical complaint over the years was the one throat infection after another. So this should once and for all put an end to it. I want to spend 2011 a lot healthier than 2010 and previous years.

Noooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!
