A small but big-to-me miracle today — Sheila and I drove out to see one the surgery doctors and had my silicone strips from my nose removed!
And it was instant inflow of air! 🙏
We also learned my new still-very-large nose will shrink as the swelling goes down over many months & be more normal. What I have to watch progress on is the healing of all the alignments of my breathing channels including sinus drainage channels, minor blood clots, and the effect of Austin’s most dominant feature – year round allergies on a world class level 🤧
Some of my swelling it seems is allergy related vs the operation!
To celebrate, among other things, Sheila and I are doing a much needed live SilverSneakers stretch class, then – play some Bingo 😊
Here’s a screenshot of my search for Gentle Stretch classes on their site, we’re doing the top one shown ( schedule then switches to next day ) —

So I’m kinda bummed I’m still a bit cloggy, but I’m WAY glad I can breathe so much better! 🙏
Stay well everyone! ❤️

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….
