  • I had 2 sinus surgeries. Let me tell you how that went. Doctor yeah no big deal just couple of adjustments. The day of surgery. Ok so here is a trash can for all the blood. I am going to give you 4 shots inside your nose. Now bend over trash can and let blood drain. Bend over and a waterfall of blood. After about 5-10 mins. He comes in and takes a metal chisel and starts adjusting my nose. I could hear the crunching sound and feel the pressure. Then he cuts some pieces out of my nose. About 2 months later it was back to prior surgery status. Next surgery was an inflatable balloon inside the nose cavity. Again I expected simple procedure. Damn if It wasn’t almost a repeat except this time the balloon was being inflated in nostril and I could hear crunching sounds. Same results nose said fuck off mate went back to normal.

    I started buying more of what I want as I get older. I also have experienced death of an immediate family member. So this puts things in perspective for me. I ask the question how much time do I have left? Is this the right time for me to buy something I just want versus need?

    More of my perspective reasoning. I have a chronic illness and it will progress and has already. So I don’t know what a month or year will be for me. I need to accomplish what I can while I can.

    Ultimately not all wants will be acquired. Some are fleeting thoughts of maybe another life. I have a rule about electronics. Do not buy electronics or vehicles that are just released. The chances are they will have problems. Let others testing them first so corrections can happen. Then buy the items when on sale and hopefully bugs are worked out. Video games can apply to this logic as well.
