My nasal op

Had a nasal operation similar to your a couple of years ago because of a deviated septum (nose broken twice in one week back in the judo days) and suspected polyps.
Saved my life -- the "polyps" turned out to be a cancerous mass the size of a cherry tomato.

Pain from the widening of the nasal cavity (I think they used a medical Dremel tool) was severe. They put a waterfilled balloon the keep things from shrinking again with scar tissue. My wife, too, was grossed out when they pulled it out.

The stuff that we survive, eh?
