Sorry TE, I had read your post before you added that whole second section.

I wouldn't have ozena yet because I am only 5 months post-op. I am unlikely to recuperate my mucosal integrity because--my ENT told me--the surgeon stripped out the antrum of the mucosa.

I hope you are right about all the other things, and that, on top of it, the mucosa regenerates beyond expectation.

I finished my book on Easter day. I began it on Christmas Eve.

I do appreciate all of your feedback and advice.
