Firstly, I would just like to say thank you to everyone for your kind messages of support and wishes of luck for my surgery last Friday. I was overwhelmed by the response from both friends and strangers and I am so grateful to you all. I would also like to extend my thanks to Spire Hospital and to Mr Carl Philpott for looking after me so well.
Although it is too early to tell if the surgery has been a success in terms if any anosmia improvement, there were no complications during theatre and I am making a great recovery. I am now able to take minimal painkillers and go without a lovely moustache-esque bandage under my nose. I am able to breathe through it, although I do have two large plastic splints inside each nostril holding my nose apart so I am not able to breathe quite as clearly as I would like to be able to. These are also proving quite annoying and I frequently wake up in the middle of the night wanting to tear them out, but I am seeing Mr Philpott on Friday where these will be removed.
