I must have missed it too...prayers that the surgery goes well and for a quick and uneventful recovery Steve

@Stormin Norm I thought Steve was having hemorrhoid surgery , was wondering why they were going in thru his nose. You never know with modern medicine Doctors these days.

Steve - Here is hoping for a quick and low pain recovery - Going in to the hospital sucks (but am so glad we are able to get the great medical care we do)!

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,312]

Missed it as well...but hope all goes well Steve!

Polyps nurse Cindy says Norm ... pretty common and minor she says. Supposed to help one breath better. She also says they often do a septoplasty while they there. ... what ever that is. Supposed to help you sniff wine better I guess in Dino's case!

Steve you are an icon here in this forum, I truly wish you the best 👍🏻

[OutdoorEnvy 1,522]

New here but anything under the knife is always a little scary.  Prayers for you Steve that it goes well and you're back at it in no time!

Hi guys, and Thank You for all the Prayers and Well Wishes.  

   I had Covid-19 back in October and November last year.  I had it pretty bad for a few weeks, short of breath, joint aches, choking cough, some fever, no apatite and sooo tired.  I slept for days.  I lost 25 pounds and could not taste or smell anything.  When it was over I became what they call a "long hauler".  I still had the shortness of breath, lack of taste and smell, and still ached in the joints.  I could do things, but not for long.  No head ache or fever, just blah.

   I started going to doctors to see if they could help me.  I finally found an Ear, Nose & Throat Dr., we did a bunch of tests (including a CT Scan).  Found the polyps and signs of some infection.  The surgery was sure more then I thought it was going to be.  I think my doctor knew, as he said, "We will see what we find and go from there."  Well after 4 hours of surgery, he kept me over night for observation.  The nurses were absolutely fantastic, they were having a tough day also.  My 1st nurse must have sat with me for more then a 1/2 hour as we just talked with each other.  That was nice as I could not get comfortable so as to sleep.  Up all night and nothing but coffee.  Well, I'm back home and I can definitely breath better.  Still a ways to go, but this was a huge step in the right direction.   BTW, Chris and I have both had our 2nd Moderna shots last Friday...probably why I am so sore.

   Anyway, it was soo nice to get back on Red Square and then find this thread.  You guys humble me and really know how to make someone feel better.  THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!  

 

   Please get the vaccination and practice social distancing and masks...be smart  I would not wish what I have gone through on anybody.  It is extremely painful.

Steve,

 

Glad to hear that all went well. It seems that with the inactivity of this past year the thing to do was have surgery! I had Arthroscopy Knee Surgery to repair a torn meniscus in September and now Blepharoplasty on both eyes a month ago. The eye surgery had to be put off twice due to Covid spikes in the area. General anesthesia both times and a few weeks to recover.

 

Stay well!.   

[stevasaurus 22,711]

John, I hope all goes well for you and I get to see you at the show this year.  Prayers my friend...be well.   @shallowwatersailor

@stevasaurus.

It sounds like things are going well for you and we are happy to hear that. Not knowing what was going on at first added to our concerns but the clowns here filled in the gaps in their own goofy but loving way. Thke care of yourself friend and get back to 100%. We need to Skype again soon. 

[rjg854 11,351]

Glad to know you're out of the hospital, and on the mend!

[kpinnc 11,924]

Steve- I'm glad you're feeling a little better, and I pray you are back to 100% very soon! 

[DennisThornton 4,769]

Now stay well!
