Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Thanks Carol, It went okay...kind of uncomfortable removing the packing, but I could breathe immediately. However, my nose has since stuffed up:- (. I guess I have that to look forward to for about a week, then I should be breathing better. I can still breathe well out of my good nostril, but the side that was blocked needs Afrin for a couple days. It was a great feeling though being able to breathe through my nose, however brief it was:-). > > Well, I think the septoplasty went well.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 , I remember all too well that fantastic, liberating, " I can breathe! " feeling after getting the packing out (I had three or four nose jobs - I can't remember now). But it felt soooooo good!!! And lasted such a short amount of time ( I think the tissue immediately swells or something, in addition to getting stuffed up. That " I can breathe " feeling will come back eventually - but it will never be as dramatic since it will be a slow recovery. Just remember that feeling as much as you can ) -becky > > > Well, I think the septoplasty went well.
