Passing For Normal

All went well. When I woke up, headache was much worse than nose-related pain. Sore throat also kind of a loud mouth; apparently I'm "difficult to intubate." All righty, then. Now all flavors of pain have been knocked down to a tolerable level; yay meds. Aside from facing the next few days as a mouth breather, I'm pleased all around. Now? Sleep, broken at intervals to change out ooky "gauze mustache" pads. This is my life for the next 48 hours. I'm okay with that.
