For the second time (03 December 2012), I went in for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. This is done to remove polyps that grow and eventually start blocking off the the sinuses. The first surgery was done seven years ago in December 2005.
This most recent surgery was done at the AF Hospital Same Day Surgery by Dr. Todd Hamilton. All went well until during recovery when I thought that I was well enough to sit up and start getting dressed to go home. Suddenly, I felt nauseated and before I knew it I was vomiting. Once that was over, I felt good enough for my wife to drive me back home.
Right after arriving at home and making it up to our bedroom, I started vomiting once again. I was unaware that so much blood was still dripping and making it to my stomach. After this second bout, I was fine and able to relax in the easy-chair for the rest of the night. In fact, I slept the entire night in the easy-chair.
This morning, I woke up feeling a lot better. Was able to finally eat something solid-- having not eaten anything since late Sunday night. My wife, Debbie, needed to head out this morning to St. George, Utah for a UHP conference during the next few days, so my kids will have to keep an eye on me until I'm fully functional.
