Unabashed Whining
I just found out today that our annual herpetology hunt with the undergrads is scheduled for the end of this month, 2 days after I have sinus surgery, which means I cant go this year. Waaaaaaaaa!! I'll be sitting home with 2 black eyes and yards of packing up my nose while everyone else is romping through the woods. I'm bummed :-(

I can see it now
I'm so loopy on meds that I get lost in the woods, never to be heard from again. Just like those poor kids in the Blair Witch Project.

Not to worry
I'm an old pro at this. A few years back I had major sinus/septum work done, plus had a T&A done at the same time. I remember sitting in the recovering room with a popsicle in my hand, watching it melt and run down my arm. I couldnt coordinate my motor functioning to get the stupid thing to my mouth! The pain was impressive, but I'd say I was fully recoved in 3 weeks. The doc said recovery for this this procedure should be much easier. He's only going to cut away scar tissue and create some new ostia. Piece of cake.

Tonsils/Adenoids would be my guess
An old grilf had that done at the same time she was 'out' for sinus surgery..

Because I *SO* want to go through that again!
Just for that, I'll post pictures anyway. I should look very fetching with all the swelling and gauze hanging out of my nose.

TLAs
It's all in the usage. Many atime I've have to relearn a TLA cuz it had a different meaning at a different worksite. With Bio's background, T&A could very well be the accepted acronym for Tonsils and Adenoids. And she's a tad too young to have watched the T&A shows from the 60s & 70s.

I'd choose a persona more glamorous than a middle-aged single mother who's barely getting by. I'd probably be a noted surgeon or psychiatrist with a big house and a maid. And a pool boy named Pedro. Gotta have the pool boy. :)

It really is.
[link|http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00068380.html|http://www.chclibrar...med/00068380.html] Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T & A) are surgical procedures to remove the tonsils from the back of the mouth or adenoids from the back of the nasal cavity -- both are are part of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for fighting infection. These operations are often performed together and are usually done on children. T & As are the most common childhood operations. Hey, I dont make this stuff up!
