Trumpets OuuuuuuuuuuT!!!

A little snip, a little pull and voila! No more Trumpets!

For the first 3-4 hours, the headache a would not quit! It was wicked bad, and was making my system shut down.... Narcoleptic Bella was back! Falling asleep mid sentence, seeing double, not being able to keep my eyes open.... Once the headache dropped to a manageable pain level, I was able to stay awake again.

My left nostril is having phantom drainage every now and again that makes me jump to pick up tissue and catch the faucet! Nothing comes out, but dire feels like it (paranoid much????). My right nostril has drained maybe 6 drops of clear whatnot. Because I'm putting saline in both nostrils every hour, it's hard to tell if it's saline or brain fluid. I'm not getting the same funky taste like I was before, so I'm really hoping it's all saline solution!!! We will know more tomorrow!

Next up is remove the Lumbar Drain. They were going to clamp it off today, but we are going to wait until tomorrow to be safe. At this point, just taking it one step at a time, not looking to skip ahead, rush anyone, or make bad choices.

After all, this is the start of my new life, with so many new chapters to write!! Let's not rush perfection!!!
