I wish I could get sinus/nasal surgery, my blood Oxygen is constantly low because I can't pull enough air through it.

try having sinus surgery when you have a mustache. sad less than a hour after i got home after the surgery(deviated septum and false sinus) i had to shave it off. bloody snot draining into a mustache is NOT fun. but no more sinus headaches is worth it.

My opiate tolerance is still so high that to get any kind of high out of the hydrocodone i'd probably have to take almost all 30 of the 7.5 mg pills they gave me, and by that point the acetaminophen in it would cause liver failure.

Wait until they pull out the packing. It felt like they poked the inside of my brain when they put the forceps up my nose. Not fun.

I don't think they put any packing in. They just had to open up my broken sinus to make sure it was draining right and nothing was trapped against my brain or something. I do have to go back for debridement, though. Not looking forward to it.

you should ask them to give you oxy. i've never had a surgeon refuse to bump my pain meds up from vicodin because it doesn't do diddly for me.

Its managing the pain fine, just not giving me any kind of high. Honestly with my history I prefer the weaker stuff as long as it works.

And Aon, I'm lucky enough to still have insurance through my parents. I don't even want to know what several cat scans, a few x rays, two specialist visits, a night in the ER, and surgery would cost without it.

prices vary a lot, but that wouldn't be a million bucks, lol. He's probably more around 50-100k.

it's something I really should get done, but gd it, I just don't wanna!

Get better Faromir. sad

Did you ever go back and try to re-trace your way home that night? File a report?

Maybe talk to any business owners that might have security cams that are on your usual way home?

Either way...yeesh, take care. You do a good thing providing for the homeless. peace hugs

a few says of discomfort are worth the relief after. after i had mine done i didn't have any swelling, and just a minor amount of pain that was gone within 3 days. after everything healed up, i could breathe MUCH better thru my nose, and no more sinus headaches. i never realized how screwed up my nose was until after i had the problems fixed.

and faromir- i feel your pain about the 'stache man. if you can deal with the bloody snot draining into it, you are a tougher man than me.

Worst part for me was after, when they pulled out what felt like miles of cotton wadding from my nose.
