Sinus Surgery !!!

[TheSpecialist]

I had the septoplasty done last year. Everyone told me I was crazy, that I would be miserable for weeks. The worst of it was the first night with the packing in. The next day the packing was removed, I slept on a recliner, it helped me breath better so I could sleep, and I was fine in a bout a week. The pain wasn't bad after about three days I stopped taking the pain meds. I still snore, but I am deffinately sleeping better, and having dreams almost every night, which I han't had in about 10 years.

The deviated septum will take a solid year to heal. It will sound like "crinkling celophane" every time you sneeze.

I had constant sinus problems along with sleep apnea 3 1/2 years ago. They fixed my deviated septum, removed my tonsils, cut my palette and shocked the back of my tounge. It sucked for about 2 weeks, but the pain meds (liquid percs) helped a lot. When it was healing up the stitches started to get feel "scratchy" but they eventually disappeared. It's nice to be able to breathe again.
