Nose operation update

Had the operation done yesterday afternoon (Monday) not nearly as much pain I thought there would be. A couple of extra strength Tylenol pretty much knocks out the pain. It's 5:11 AM and I just had to change the bandage as some bleeding was coming through the gauze pad. He did not pack it so it just has splints in both sides. It did pretty good all night tho I haven't been to sleep, just not sleepy and now as I'm typing it has began to bleed again. I think it's the way I'm holding my head forward. Thanks a bunch guys for your words of experience to me, you just do not know much it settled my nerves and eliminated the bad thoughts I was having. Keith
 
Glad to hear Keith, is the nose sore to touch? Mine sure was, I had a hard time sleeping had to sit in my chair to sleep, glad to hear your doing good.
 


I can't think of anything worse than obstructed breathing. This should improve your life a lot.
 
Breathing is pretty much necessary. May the port and polish job increase your volumetric efficiency. Jim
 
Yes, a little sore and they told me to set in my recliner for a few nights. I'd sure like to blow my nose tho, but I know I can't, still bleeding quite a bit.
 
You'll get used to sleeping upright and through your nose. It sucks. The best part is in about a week, when the passages start to open up and things start draining. Ever smell dead tissue/blood that's been rotting for a week? That's what I smelled like. Took a couple weeks for that to really stop, kids didn't want me to get too close. I was blowing things out of my nose that I swore shouldn't have fit.
 
I've had seven of this operations now. Hardly a big deal anymore for me. The first was by far the worst as far as discomfort went but even then a couple days and it was fine. Last one didn't bother much at all, think I used two of the pain pills they sent.
