Deviated septum or an old polyp from a sinus infection?

Hi, 48 year old male here.

I am confused. A year ago I got a terrible sinus infection and did not treat it. My nostrils became super crusty and there was (what appeared to be) a red polyp blocking my right nostril. I just went to an ENT and he said it's a deviated septum. There is also a scab at that spot. He wants to do surgery. He didn't do scans, just a scope.

What is weird is that I do not recall ever having a blocked nostril prior to the sinus infection.

Also, I have seen an ENT like 7 years ago (for something else) and they didn't say anything about a deviated septum.

Is it possible this is just trauma from my sinus infection? I looked up his profile and he seems well regarded.

Ideas on how to find a used 1873 Winchester rifle in Washington?

Hi y'all. So, after a deep dive on '73 vs '92, I think I'd like a '73. Any tips on where to find a good used one? I'm in Western Washington, and there aren't a lot of cowboy action shooters- so the pawn shops don't have anything.

I am familiar with Gun Broker, but I don't have any other ideas. I'm looking for a 357/38.

Of course, there are good/cheap '92s everywhere, but I'm hoping to get the original.

Thank you!
