That is the question that I have to pose to myself after discussing things with the team doctor on my broken nose. Oddly enough I can't remember the last time my nose was not broken to some extent because throughout my life I have lived with it in various states of fracture. However, none were as bad or as noticeable as the current one that happend about 5-6 weeks ago in practice.
I was told that in order to fix my breathing they could easily go in and take care of that without much trouble, clean a few things up and in a few weeks I would be ready to hit the court again. BUT, (isn't there always a but?) in order to completely fix my nose inside and out which includes straightening it back to where it should be located not at a 45 degree angle shaped like a "C", I am going to have to do the rhinoplasty on top of it. Now, Im strictly speculating here, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that in order to do that and have it heal properly I will probably be out of action for upwards of 3-5 weeks after the surgery is completed.
So, should I go ahead and do it this season when I know the competition is weak and prepare myself mentally and physically for the next season when we jump up to the big leagues? Or, do I complete this season and do it at the very beginning of the next season , miss the first half and be ready for the playoff run and playoffs?
This is my dilemma. Keep in mind I could have the surgery and get hit in the nose a week later, which would be just my luck. Anyway, I guess I have some thinking to do.
**Update**
Yeah so my estimate was close, after going over the finer details it turns out that I will be out of action for about 6 weeks following the surgery.
