post sinus surgery update......

Yeah......not gonna post pics of this mess......not looking to make anyone toss their cookies.

 

Thanks Will!

 

Hint: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

got my stints out this am.......holy hell....whatta difference!! i cant believe how much i can actually breathe now without having to use any kind of nose spray. the stints were weird as hell(yeah...i saved them,haha), bout 2 inches long or a lil more, and clear....when they pulled them out...felt like they were pulling something off the backs of my eyes. i've still got to irrigate some to wash out any lingering blood clots and such, but i think its gonna be awesome now. just took a nap.....havent really slept much since thursday night....and its a big difference now.

 

damn, just visualized way to much of this ^^^^^^^

 

ahaha......nah, not as bad as it sounds man. the difference in breathing tho....epic.

 

Hope the surgery gives you long lasting relief, a friend of mine had a sinus surgery and for a year after he had one long sinus infection kept going back, doc said all was good.

One night @ work he kept blowing his nose over & over I asked what was wrong he said not sure feels like something was stuck in his nose. A few sneezes larter a greenish blood tinged packing sponge comes flying out on the table. No more sinus problems after that, hope your surgeon counts better that my freinds did. Good luck I bet your glad its over, sinus surgeries can be a rough one.

 

I wish you a speedy recovery Will.

I didn't have sinus surgery, but had septoplasty when I had jaw surgery, so I know exactly what it feels like to have a swollen bloody nose you can't breathe out of. The pain of recovery is a bitch, but the end result of finally being able to breathe through your nose is worth every penny.

 

breathing is better for sure....just got done irrigating again, and had a little amount of junk come out, nothing major tho. i think im gonna keep up using the netti pot on a daily basis, just to keep my sinuses and all washed out and clean.

for whatever reason tho....my anxiety kinda came back a bit ago. i am really hoping this is something that phases out quickly.

 

wow...thats crazy!!! i was mistaken before when i said i had 4 stints in...only one in each nostril. i can post pics of said stints if ya'll wanna see them.(not gonna clean them out either).

 

great news Will

 

Would a shop vac help?...

 

Hope you get better Will! It will all be worth it when its all said and done with

 

lol....i gotta pretty high amp vacuum pump i may try out.

 

Really? That's pathetic man.

 

^^^^^disregard the Canadian above me.

Well.......was breathing great when they took the stints out this am.......and after doing a few irrigations,can't breathe worth crap tonight. I'm hoping the insides are still just stolen and will shrink down over the next few days. Though I hated to do it...had to use a little nose spray to open my head up so I can sleep,and I'm wearing a breathe right step cause they help anyway.

 

Wow dude, hope that gets better.
I thought i had sinus issues until meeting you. If you are using afrin man i highly suggest you though that crap in the garbage.

 

That's what I had been using......for a long time,but I'm using this flonase he gave me just to get by until swelling goes down.
