It's all my fault! :lol: He has a huge wingspan and the long fingers, also super flexible and the tiny lower jaw/skinny face thing going on, but (a) he's only 13 and has a lot of growing to do and (b) is more than fine in every other aspect so we're "not worrying about it for now"

Clodfobble, how is your nose?

Better. Still having some mild soreness when I touch or move my septum, like an old bruise. I can't pick my nose normally yet.

Also, I still have this lingering numb spot in the roof of my mouth right behind my front teeth, which I believe is where an intubator was pressing and cutting off circulation for a total of about 6 hours. Or possibly it was the machinery for the stomach pumping they did on the second and third procedures. Whatever it was, the numbness is very slowly fading, and I'm told it will probably be back to normal eventually but it will take several months.

I have stopped snoring according to Mr. Clod, but I wouldn't say I feel more rested because of it. Then again, I am not really giving sleep a fair chance right now, as has been mentioned elsewhere.

Currently, I'm indifferent. There are some undeniable benefits, but I don't think I'd do it again if you asked me right now. I can breathe better, but is it that much better? Maybe when I can pick my nose good and proper, I'll feel differently. I also feel, very subtly, that my voice has changed now that my sinuses resonate differently. Nothing anyone else would notice, but I feel it, especially when I sing. I feel... kind of betrayed by this, I guess. It's still fine and all, but the sound of my voice is important to me, and I don't like the idea that it's permanently changed because of this.

I'm glad you're ok, and I'm glad you're "better". I also had/have some numbness in the area of my upper incisors, though no explanation about intubation was offered. It does seem to come and go and I attribute it to an increased sensitivity of the nerves in the area as it seems to increase when I'm more snotty, more congested.

Once it's completely healed, unswollen, and properly picked, it may resonate as it did. OR, it could completely change your singing voice to the next Diva at the Met, complete with multi-million dollar contracts, and stage door Johnnies.

The suspense is killing me. :D
