I went along with it because we had zero issues with Alaska, but there were definitely more kids/families on this one. Mrs. Supe's friend caught something and spent a whole day puking on the boat (which she didn't tell me about until later), and Junior was escorting her daughter around everywhere the entire time, so I'm not surprised.

Seems like Fall was always the worst time of the year for sick kids - they all get sick and share germs when they get back to school and then it keeps compounding. Sorry that it spilled over into your vacay!
I just want to go somewhere with white beaches where people will bring me alchohal all day

St. Maarten had the only tolerable white beaches where someone would bring you drinks (after you paid for a beach chair). Grand Turk would bring you drinks, but the beaches were crowded AF and there was horse shit everywhere.

back at work today. had my follow up with my ENT yesterday - 0 pain but A LOT OF unpleasantness. They numbed the hell out of my nose and stuck a very long skinny vacuum up it to suck out whatever was left of the gauze that was supposed to dissolve. again, no pain, but weird pressure and made me v nauseous.
getting by on just tylenol now to deal with discomfort.

0 pain is always a good thing. How's the breathing/sinuses? Is it worth it? I should have something done there too. I'm too chicken to even have someone look at it.
Hope it works out well for you. My sister said the surgery didn't do shit for her. A good friend on the other hand said he would undergo the pain and suffering again in a heartbeat, and that he now knows what its like to breathe.

Immediately when i woke up from the surgery, I was like omg I can breathe!! That feeling has since gone away and my dr. Said to expect that due to swelling/healing. I don’t think I’ll feel the true impact for another couple of weeks. I’m still bleeding out of my nose pretty regularly so stuff is nowhere near as healed as it could be. Really hope I get to that immediate post-surgery feeling though

I should mention that I picked a new insurance plan this year because I anticipated getting this surgery. It’s a higher monthly payment than my old one but it was best for someone planning on getting a big procedure done. Also was the plan that had a $0 copay in the ER which has [unfortunately] come in handy twice since switching.I would have to pay 3k

I won’t miss my salary but I will miss my benefits whenever I leave the government.

I only worked for a state government for 9 months (first job out of school), and I think I will miss those benefits for the rest of my life...

@vee043324, oh no! Why can't they just give your the antibiotics so you don't have to suffer more?
I mean, I know, doctors want to make sure it's a sinus infection and not just a passing cold or something of the like. But ugh, I'm sorry you're going through this!

yeah i think they're hesitant to give out antibiotics if it's not necessary. there is a good chance that everything is fine, but the swelling is bad right now and causing the pain. but ughhhhhh don't want the skinny metal things up my nose anymore it's traumatic

Woke up to what I thought was a v v v rogue nose hair (or something??) making me sneeze repeatedly. No. It’s a stitch. A stitch has unraveled and is now poking out of my nose. I tried pulling it and it’s anchored to something very very very deep in my nose. Help. (I’ve already called my dr and am waiting for a call back)
