Wish Me Well!
 

All,

I depart tomorrow for sinus surgery, something that's been plaguing me for years. I've got the barometric pressure sinus kind (sinus baratrauma), kicks my butt whenever the weather changes. If you've got it or had it, you know what I mean, and also know how miserable it can be. The doc told me there's no guarantee I'll get better; in fact, he's reluctant to do it as it could make it worse. But, I'm going through with it, regardless of the risk.

The good thing about this is that it's a free trip to Tokyo (military base), and as it's out-patient surgery I have like a week to do as I want before I have my follow-up appointment before returning home. So, some time to sight-see, eat some good food, and just chill for awhile away from work. A free 10-day trip to Tokyo--not too bad!

I don't know if I'll have a computer I can connect with while I'm gone. If I do, I'll update you when I'm down there.

Best of luck mate, last time they broke my nose and resized my nasal passages to try and alleviate the symptoms. It's not totally successfull but it's nowhere near as bad as it was!

DoG.. thanks for the image..

torataky - I'm sure your going to fine. Looks like you have a honest and through surgeon doing the job; that is great!

I'd be squimish.. and want to be KNOCKED OUT!! Great job dealing with this! Relax do the "thing" do a bit of seeing around, nosh on some excellent sushi and come back home.. post pictures too. :) The pictures of where you visited at least. :)
