When I blew my nose today, I went "wheaaugh!" A flat thin strip, about 7mm wide and 60mm long, kinda dun-colored, had emerged from my left nostril.

I think it's either some kind of surgical gel, or a piece of ziti from Friday's lunch. I have no idea which.

At any rate, I can breathe through my left nostril much better now; palatouvula still hurts more than the tonsils, big shock. Also, my ears are noticeably clearer - rather nice, since it was one of the reasons I went in for the surgery in the first place.
