Just a quick post, with video, as I hunker down through my readiness-chores for my surgery Thursday ☺️
kinda embarrassing showing how old I’ve become, but at for now I’m still smiling,lol! 😊
My severely deviated septum is joined with impacted blocked sinus channels ( no drainage ) and a fallen nose tip that also restricts my air. Neither of which compete with many problems I personally know many folks contend with daily; this is just my torment since the mid-70s when a deviated-septum-only procedure ( under a different degree of knowledge at the time ) resulted in my deciding not to risk a redo.
A lot has changed in half a century medically, and my current surgeons’ modern skills and tech and manner convinced me it was worth another try 🙏
Stay well everyone! Wish me well ❤️

ps – updating my post to include a mention for James Nestor’s book, Breath, that initially convinced me to rethink my reluctance to have the necessary surgeries to enable me to breathe the way we’re born to need to do 🙏😊 – https://felipeadanlerma.com/tag/james-nestor/

I support passage of The Voting Rights Act 🙏❤️😊

Voting, in our democracy, is the purest form of expression.
Dissenting, affirming, protesting –
– all flow through the form of the ballot, not, the bullet…
Stay well everyone – for oneself, and for those who need us most..the children….
