Update on Daryl

And here he is in all his uncomfortable glory!

Daryl went off to the Dr this morning, in time to arrive there as soon as they opened. This may have been due to the discomfort of having his nose stuffed with dressings, or may have been related to the fact that he had not eaten since lunchtime yesterday and wanted the all clear to be able to eat!

Anyway, the Dr removed the dressings, and pronounced him ok to not have them replaced, so his nose in now unstuffed. You would think that it would now look smaller than it did yesterday, but alas no. It is still fairly big and swollen. He encouraged me to have a look up his nose with a torch, and it is fairly clear to see that all is not as it should be - one nostril is a lot more open than the other.

He is fairly uncomfortable, I think, but is pleased to be able to eat. He should get a phone call from the specialist tomorrow to arrange an appointment to see what needs to be done.
