nose operation - 07:40 PM
i've been collecting some good webcam pics of myself day to day so i think that it's almost time to start a gallery. i don't have that many yet, but at this point i haven't planned what format the gallery will be in anyway. maybe i should collect pics over four weeks & then publish a new one once a month. that would give a good overview, as time goes by, of the progression of the site & of the web cam component of it.
tomorrow, i'm taking my sweetheart into hospital. he's having an operation on his nose. about two years ago he was invloved in a car accident where his face met with the inside of the windscreen of the car in which he was a passenger. his nose was a complete mess. his mum said that when she saw him in the hospital after the accident, she thought that he would have to have a fake nose .. it was that bad. she said that she could see the holes where the top of the nostrils enter the head. amazingly enough, the lady doctor that fixed him up managed to stitch together all the little strips of skin & flesh & was able to put his nose back together. she did an incredible job.
even though his nose looks normal from the outside though, since the accident, it's never worked properly. his sense of smell is all but gone & he can't breathe properly through his nose. it makes it very difficult for him to sleep, among other minor & major inconveniences. tomorrow will be his fourth operation to try to fix it.
it's a horrible operation. it invloves having plugs up his nose for weeks, all sorts of gross things fermenting in his sinuses & extreme pain. i hate to see him go through all that. hopefully though, it'll all be worth it & his nose might work better, unlike the previous operation that actually made it worse!
so tomorrow, i'll be taking him to the hospital & staying there overnight with him. i'm not sure when i'll be back, but i'm thinking that i probably won't be around for much of monday or tuesday. the least i can do for shroom is to be there for him. please send happy, healing thoughts his way.
