Healing Nicely
Today I woke up and the right side of my nose felt like someone punched me in the face. It's hard to see in there, but it looks like it's swollen and still raw. Doesn't help that I can't stop touching it (on the outside) - but it feels like something is lodged in there so it's really bothering me. Hopefully when I see him tomorrow he takes care of whatever is going on. If anything major happens, I'll post again. Otherwise this is my final update. I leave you with this gorgeous picture of me with my nose packed with cotton! LOL
Today is the big day!!!
Still doing pretty good...
Provider Review
Dr. Ambrus is fairly pleasant, although not overly engaging. He took the time to answer my questions though. He explained how he performs the procedure - inside the nose - and he does not use packing or splints, so he said I can expect a little more drainage than I would otherwise, but that it is ultimately more comfortable for the patient to do it this way. He told me I will tape gauze under my nose to sort of catch the drainage. I'll post pictures and let you know how that goes. My PCP and my chiropractor both told me Dr. Ambrus is a very good surgeon - and I posted on a local town page on Facebook to get feedback about him too - a vast majority of people who responded had good experiences with him. Two people complained that he was too abrupt for their liking - I can see that a bit. He's not rude - he just says what he has to say and nothing more. If you have questions, you need to be comfortable asking them, otherwise you may not get the answers you're seeking. Just ask - he answers. A friend who used to be a surgical nurse also said she didn't really care for him in general - she just didn't think he was anything special. So it seems he's a good surgeon who lacks in the bedside manner department - I can deal with that. I'm more concerned that he does a good job than whether he'd win Dr. Congeniality. Finally, He has had a recent complaint against him for a tonsillectomy procedure, but I am not getting a tonsillectomy so I'm not facing those kinds of risks or potential adverse outcomes. So I mainly based my decision to go to him because he accepts my insurance, two doctors I go to and trust recommend him, and several of his past patients were happy with the (similar) work he'd done for them. I hope I will be just as happy as they are!
