Hi all I had a deviated septum and my nose...

Hi all

I had a deviated septum and my nose long, overprojected nose with a small hump corrected. I was very scared but the worst part of the surgery was finding my vein in my hand. All went well. Waking up from the surgery was also hard. I had to take a endocet, or tylenol with codeine, as soon as I got home. To be honest, I felt a lot of pain at that point.I could have had something stronger as I still felt pain after one pill. However, after one hour I was much better. Talking to my friend really helped. You need to keep yourself busy!

It is now the next morning and I hardly slept. I am taking pain killers every four hours as there is, oddly, discomfort in my teeth and upper nose. I am really crabby at this point too. My appetite is non-existent so maybe I will drop some of this winter weight. haha.

Ok, there is my honest account of my rhino thus far.

Take care,
Newnose

Thank you for starting your story! I didn't sleep much that first night either. The second was better and I hope for you, too. Please keep us posted as you continue to heal
