Hate my nose

[dlgood]

Rather than get into any particular deep discussion, I'm going to whine.

When I was thirteen, my nose was broken in a fistfight. It looked something like a Cheese Doodle, all orange and swollen. It's awful hard to continue fighting after that. In any case, it required reconstructive surgery. And at fifteen, a second surgery, as I had to do some face pulling to get any good breathing in.

So now, in my mid twenties, every spring, I feel like it's broken again. I get these pains, and some major sinus action. Aches in the middle of my face. And I can hardly do anything athletic because my breathing is so poor.

It doesn't look like a particularly messed up nose. But it doesn't seem to be functioning all that well right now. At least I haven't had the crippling sinus infection yet, like I did in the Mays of each of my college graduations. That sucked. I am not happy feeling right now.

Prays for sweet release of superior sinus medication.

Is it possible you might need another surgery?

It's actually possible, because the cartilage inside my nose never did quite heal straight. I just hope not, because I've had surgery twice and it was nothing I wish to experience again. But if my breathing is like it has been, I'll have to consider.
