I am just now reading back over the past few weeks and catching up - glad your surgery has been improving your breathing, albeit slowly. (You're the second friend to undergo an ENT type surgery recently so I am familiar with the gauze and pliers routine). Sorry for the uncomfortableness of clots and straps.

I have been thinking about bangs, which is usually a very bad decision for me, unless they are very long/swept back. I hope yours settle nicely.

I hope your Dad is doing better. I am also hoping the mouse is okay.
