So, I just notice I haven't typed about having surgery at all and I figured late was better than never. If you don't already know I had a Septoplasty and a Bilatteral Terbinate Reduction on the 16th, just over a week ago...Basically what he(the doc) did was straighten my deviated septum. It was about 75 percent deviated and causing quite a few breathing problems in the right side of my nose.
The surgery went well and I recovered pretty quickly in the hospital. What they didn't tell me was that the pain meds they gave me would wear off and I'd feel like crap for only heaven knows how long. Because, I'm still feeling like garbage and super tired all the time. I didn't realize how surgery just zaps the energy right out of you...I have only been this tired when I was pregnant and I know that's not true since they took a pregnancy test before I went in for surgery. Now back to the pain thing...
I tried to put makeup on my face the other day...It brought tears to my eyes and I vowed to never do that again until I was sure I was completely healed. My mom always said, "you have to suffer to be beautiful," but this was a little on the overboard side if you ask me. So, if you're vain don't get this surgery done because you'll bring tears to your eyes each time you slap on the foundation.
What have I learned from this experience? I wouldn't do it again. I'd leave things the way they were. So far the improvements in my breathing aren't worth the pain that I've been in. I don't know that I'll say that in a month from now or even in a year from now but for now that's the truth.
