The nasal passages are incredibly sensitive.

My memories are a bit vague, I was 3. I remember crying as they wheeled
me to surgery, calling Keefy first! Over and over and over, Keith is my
brother and they were doing both of us at the same time, lol. I remember
kiddy cartoon pics on the walls of the outer surgery part. I remember
the rubber mask (which gave me a phobia for many many years) and the
ether. I remember hiding under the blankies when they brought the meds
around and remember putting my icecream in the paper "bin" at the back
of the bed and wondering why it melted....
I remember being rushed
into a small cubicle (where I was taken for the bleeding episode). The
treatment for it I don't remember so it must not have been traumatic.
Most of my earlier memories are for traumatic moments lol. The soldier
crabs, trying to yell to my mum when I had croup, falling backwards of a
wall and smacking my head, the tonsil thing...
