Geoffrey's "Nosectomy" Pictures

July 23, 2002 -- Completely blitzed on pain meds, here's what I looked like the evening after I had a polyp removed from my lower sinus cavity.  The little black strings taped to my nose are "pull tabs" attached to the packing material to make it easy for the doctor to pull the plugs tomorrow.
