Back after the operation

As I said more than a week ago I was about to undergo an operation.

Now, 10 days after the operation I must say I am still not 100% recovered and I experience a weird sensation as if the nose is way too empty, especially the left nostril. During this period since the operation I have been experiencing head aches, and an almost continuous sensation of an empty left maxilar sinus, the side on which the cyst was before. This sensation is amplified after a nose blow or after the regular nose post-op cleanings.

I hope this is not Empty Nose Syndrome.

An operation is due

I have been experiencing pains and discomfort for some time now due to a cyst inside one of my left sinuses. Next week I am scheduled for an operation to remove it. After that I will have another operation in order to reduce (but hopefully eliminate snoring).

I am a little scared. I am especially scared about the possibility the anestesic would numb me but not turn me unconcious of the pain.
