  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm a little off today.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: See, I am too.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Uh, I'm super tired because I didn't sleep last night.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: But I have nothing to complain about my daughter, however,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: uh wow, it has a lot to complain well, not
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a lot to complain about. So to back up, jonesy
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: four years has had sinus problems so bad that they
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: caused her to have dizzy spells and when she would fly,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: she would get a migraine.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Because really I didn't know that.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just she's had problems for years.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You would think you'd want to get that taken care
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: of earlier.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Well, it is something that they wait till they're a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: little older. You know. There's some surgeries that don't make sense.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: But we're still growing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but finally, and she's she is such an
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: organized person. When we diagnosed this with her, finally and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it was several months ago, she said, well, I don't
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: want to do it while I'm in school. I'll wait
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: till I get out for the summer and it'll give
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: me time to recover. So yesterday we finally had the surgery.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Leading up to the surgery, she had the surgery. Oh,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry she had this. You didn't have it leading
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: up to the surgery, she was so prepared for it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: She took me into her room and she said, Mom,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: here's a little box I have made with everything I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: will need during my recovery. She went out and bought
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: gauze and sailine spray, like she like. She researched before
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the doctor said here's what you're going to need. She
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: researched what she would need, and she said, it's all
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in this box right here.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: And I find this frightening.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't do anything to prepare for it. I'm like,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: what days your surgery? Where are we going? She scheduled
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it all and did it all. So this was yesterday.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Several hours of surgery. They do they go in and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: like roto rude or your sinuses.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just because see I didn't know anything about the
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: proced that's just what I imagine.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now you're telling me this. They ream them out.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And and she also had a deviated septum, so
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they kind of they break your nose and then straighten
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Now she got she got that that that that bout
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of prize fighting. She did.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And uh, the doctor said, you know, while we're in there,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: do you want us to do any plastic surgery. She said,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: uh no, I like the way, and I.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Mean it would have been a good opportunity to get
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: rid of that hideous bump on her nose.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Well, so the doctor said, you have a little bump
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: right here, nothing that any of us have ever noticed.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I've never noticed it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: No, and so so like for weeks she was like, well, gosh,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I guess should I maybe.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Is that a way? Is that a way? Is that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a way that physicians pad their bills?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, are or maybe? I don't think that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I think what the doctor meant was if I have.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: A chance to cut on something, I want to do it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I think what the doctor meant was, this is not
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a surgery you're gonna want to do twice. So if
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you've ever considered having that done, now's the time to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: See guy in the chat room just found a cutaway
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: drawing of endoscopic sinus surgery.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I don't, oh man, you know you know when I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: had knee replacement surgery, there were any number of videos
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that you could watch seeing how the process is done.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I started to watch one and went no, no, no,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And then there was one that was just an animation. Yeah,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I couldn't even watch that. No, I'm not, I can't
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: watch that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But my daughter, may, I say, is beautiful and does
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and her nose fits her face.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say when when when they said let's
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: do plastic surgery, I'm like, no, she's adorable.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And and and the doctor said, I'll give him credit
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: for this. He said, you know, I had an Italian
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: woman once came in and wanted her nose fixed, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: afterwards she said, I don't look at howmore and I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: don't like that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And I didn't know your daughter was Italian, so so
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: didn't didn't do the cosmetic procedure.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But the aftercare for this surgery is so.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Take the gauze out and put more gaus in.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Well, no, like, so for a few days you leave
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: all the gaws in. But and she has these like
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: they're almost like little straws of her nose. And every hour,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: every hour, you have to spray like saline solution up
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: there to keep it clear, which means nobody got any sleep,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know, because every you know, because she needs help
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: doing it. She can't just do it herself. It's pretty
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: pretty gruesome.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: You thought, ahead, you're going to train the dog to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe, But she's so sweet. She she woke up out
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of out of surgery in the recovery room, and she
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: was she was making jokes at the first thing she
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: said is do I look punk rock? Because you got
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you know, black eyes, and yes, and.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: What's the what's the recovery time?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It's a long recovery because because your ear nose is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: broken and your sinuses are all messed up, so it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: like for for weeks. She has to go to the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: doctor once a week to check on the progress. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you can't bump it or or you know, you have
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to be careful getting dressed. You can't.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: You can't be on the swim team. Can't be I mean, you.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Can't be on the swim team. And I guess for
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like a year after it takes a full year for
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it to heal.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Comely man.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But I'm glad she had it, had it done.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Just well, it's I told you our our good friend
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Jim Facer. I think he had it done. He had
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: done a few times, a couple of times, and I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: don't remember the circumstances of why it didn't take, but
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: he always had horrible time breathing. Yeah, and he would
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: actually put drinking straws up his nose. I remember that well.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And this doctor said, now I tell people it takes
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a year to heal. And he said, I will have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: people inevitably come back and go it's not healing or
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it's not working. He said, if you follow what I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: tell you to do for the next year, which is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: like every day you have to massage it and do
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. And he said, people like get tired
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of doing it, and then so and I said, if
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: anybody will follow your instructions and do it, it's going
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to be what you say it will be.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Now, I was just saying it was the same, you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: know that, like a knee replacement surgery. It was so
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: painful for so long, I said, what why did I
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: do this? Why? It's just horror and the and the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: physical therapy was really painful. And that finally I said,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: when is this going to be about a year? You'll
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you'll not worry about it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: A guy in the chat room had the same surgery
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: as Jones. Packed the sinuses with gauze. Doc pulled like
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: twenty feet out of my nose like a magician. Another
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: one I had four nasal surgeries, not something you want
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to go through more than once or yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But she's she's holding out for this thing. And she
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was showing me these TikTok videos of and it's she's like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: she's like, Mommy, gotta watch these videos and they have
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the Hosier yell on them. I said, what is the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Hosier yell. It's it's a viral TikTok thing where it's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: kind of like ah, like like oh, like the angels
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: have opened up and are singing, and it's video after
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: video after video of people going in to like what
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: her appointment's going to be on Monday, where the doctor
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: pulls twenty feet out and and the look on these
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: people's faces after it comes out, like I've never been
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: able to breathe before and now I can breathe. Hosier
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: yell is a thing.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So we're just hanging in there till Monday.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Get some plastic drinking straws, make them in handy, something
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: come in handy.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I just don't bless her heart. Oh, And then she
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: there was one point where I was trying to help
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: her and I think I bumped her or hurt her
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: or something she said, Mom, you're being such a bee.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And she said it just like that, and then she said,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I was swearing at you. I'm like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: number one, it's fine, and number two, that doesn't count
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: as swearing. You're being such a bee.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Now. Is this going to affect her eating? Because guy says,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: nose and throat. They cut my uvula, tonsils, and adnoids
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: all at once. I couldn't eat real food for a month.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: She didn't have that all sinus.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: But you need but if you can't, you know, if
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you can't breathe properly, you don't taste food.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe she's going to taste it, maybe things.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's going to be the hosier screeve. Is her
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: voice going to get deeper?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I think it'd be an I forgotten to hearn like
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: this any board mean, she's really she's really pretty, but
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: going she opens her mouth and starts talking.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody says, my wife had this sinus surgery. Recovery
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: was hell for months, but after healing, it was well
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: worth it and cured all of her constant infections. That's
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: what I'm hoping for.
