When
I saw this week that Tha Mike was going
to write a story about his recent sinus
surgery, I decided maybe this was the
best opportunity for me to actually
interview someone of at least some sort
of importance, for me to have an idea
of what to write about and for us to
kill two birds with one stone.
Here are 2 summaries of what happened
to him posted on thamike.com…

So with
the magic of this odd little doo-hickey
called e-mail over the past few days
I have compiled my interview with Tha
Mike.
Enjoy…
T -
Hey man! What’s going on? Are
you feeling any better yet.
TM -
Yeah. A little, thanks for asking. Talk
to you later.
T -
You’re not going to make this
easy on me are you?
TM -
What? Oh, this is your little “interview”
idea you had. Ok, fire away.
T -
Thanks, your tone sounds like you think
I’m an idiot. First question,
why did you decide to get this sinus
surgery?
TM -
I don’t “think” you’re
an idiot Trogs. I decided to get the
surgery because over the course of the
last 12 years I’ve had my nose
broken about 7 times and each time my
septum got knocked out of whack worse
and worse. It got to the point that
I couldn’t even breath out of
one side of my nose.
T -
What exactly did they do to you?
TM -
Well basically they put me asleep and
went up through my nose and dug around
and did all kinds of painful shit. They
cut some tissue and membrane out and
then they broke my septum back into
place. They also basically scraped out
all my sinus cavities as well.
T -
Did it hurt?
TM -
No, I was asleep. When I woke up in
the recovery room I was pretty drugged
up so I was cool. Shit started getting
bad after I returned home.
T -
What happened?
TM -
Well I got home and laid around for
a while out of it, and my mom and a
“special someone” took care
of me and kept and eye on me and all
that. Around 9pm my nose still didn’t
stop bleeding. The doctor said that
it would drain a little but it was gushing
the whole time I was home.
T -
What did you do?
TM -
Well my mom called the doc and he said
it was ok and to put a cold compress
on my head and if it didn’t stop
in an hour to take me to the emergency
room. It didn’t so we went. I
got there and they had to have the doctor
come in and see me. When they did the
surgery they left stints and stuffing
in my nose to keep things straight for
the next week. Well he had to leave
those in and pack even more into my
nose. The bleeding slowed a little and
they kept me overnight for observation.
Every hour on the hour they gave me
a shot of Delauton to kill the pain.
In the morning I went home, but continued
to bleed until I was told to go back
to the hospital 2 days later.
T -
Was this dope you were on good?
TM -Hell
yeah, it’s like Morphine and Demoral
combined times 20. I had no fucking
worries in the world and everything
was wonderful.
T -
So you went back to the hospital again
you said?
TM -
Yeah and they just kept adding stuffing
in my nose it was getting more and more
painful as time went on. I was back
in the hospital for the same thing the
next night as well.
T -
Initially how long was it supposed to
take for you to feel better?
TM -
The doctor told me the day after surgery
I would be fine, no problems or bleeding.
T -
Well I guess he was wrong.
TM -
Well it’s not really his fault.
To make this long story short, I bleed
constantly until when I went back to
the doctors a week after surgery and
they removed veering. It felt like he
was pulling out my brains. He told me
that he felt so bad for me all week
and that if I would have requested he
would have kept me in the hospital for
the whole week and I could have gotten
those pain shots the whole time. He
also said that I was the only person
in the thousands of people he performed
this surgery on that got the way I did.
When I saw him earlier in the week I
told him I wanted to punch him in the
face and break his nose. He told me
the day he took everything out, he understood
and wouldn’t had taken it personally.
T -
So are you back to 100% yet?
TM -
No not really, I’m slowly getting
better. Getting my blood count back
up and my strength back. I’ve
finally have been able to get up and
around and go back to work, which by
the end of the day is killing me.
T -
So is everything done yet?
TM -
No I have to go back in a few days and
get all the packing taken out of my
sinuses, then that “should”
be it. We’ll see. I mean right
now I just feel like I have a bad head
cold or a sinus infection. I shall live
though.
T -
Where you on any good pain killers at
home?
TM -
Oh hell yeah, I was on a mix of Percoset,
Vicodin and T3.
T -
Anything you’d like to add?
TM -
Actually, yeah. I would like to thank
again everyone who stood by, helped
or took care of me through this whole
mess. Thamikers on thamike.com sent
in tons of e-mail to me a posted many
well wishes on the site. I just want
everyone to know it meant a lot to me.
T -
OK That’s All Folks…
