Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Carol, I'm so glad you brought up the sneezing because for the past 2 days I have felt a sneeze coming on and I have been petrified. Yesterday when I went out for the first time the pollen must have gotten to me because there I was walking with my boyfriend and then I stopped right in the middle of my tracks and held that sneeze in with all my might. Thanks to you now I know not to panic and just let it go its course. Yes we do live in a strange pre-op world. It suddenly occurred to me today that maybe now all sorts of styles of sunglasses will look good on me now that I have a chin of some sort. I know, simple minds are easily pleased:-) Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Sara, I've sneezed half a dozen times now ( I guess once I knew I could my body started making up for all the time I didn't. ) and it's been okay. It's a little tense but not painful. Yeah, it's the little things in life that make me happy. Maybe I'll check out some new shades too.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Carol, I forgot to tell you that I finally sneezed on Monday night. Boy was it scary for me! I kept my mouth shut and then held onto my cheeks but I felt like my palet was falling apart. For some reason my biggest paranoia at the moment is my palet. I keep on feeling the bones in it moving around and popping. Is anyone else feeling this? Dr. Sachs said that it was nothing to worry about but he also said that I was the first patient to ever complain about that. I guess to each their own.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Sara, I don't know if this will help - but try keeping your mouth open next time. It sounds gross - but it will reduce the pressure differential between your nose and mouth and may help you palate feel more stable. I know they told me to only sneeze with my mouth open for the same reason. -becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 you know Becky, just after I sneezed I realized that you had said that you were told to keep your mouth open when you sneezed and I said to myself, damn it girl! Listen to Becky, she knows what she's talking about! Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hi there, Well, I havent had the sneeze attach yet, but I have been waiting for it (not excitedly I must add!!) but I am sure I will try to hold my face together too!! I had my bottom jaw and palate done as well and I too, have the popping and crunching. I called my ortho surgeon who said it was normal, so hope that helps you feel better..

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Sara, Well, congrats on getting past your first sneeze! I don't have any advice to give about your palate. But, I will try and put a postitive spin on it and say that if you're the first to question it ... that makes you special and unique! (okay, sometimes I'm just a dork!)

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I think I am just going to get all my sneezes out now before surgery so I won't have to worry about sneezing post op! I wonder if it will work..(haha) > > > > Carol, > > > > > > > > I'm so glad you brought up the sneezing because for the past 2 > > days > > > I > > > > have felt a sneeze coming on and I have been petrified. > Yesterday > > > when > > > > I went out for the first time the pollen must have gotten to me > > > because > > > > there I was walking with my boyfriend and then I stopped right > in > > > the > > > > middle of my tracks and held that sneeze in with all my might. > > > Thanks > > > > to you now I know not to panic and just let it go its course. > Yes > > > we do > > > > live in a strange pre-op world.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 , The idea of you " banking " future sneezes made me laugh out loud! I wish you had told me about that idea last week - maybe I would have tried it -becky > > > > > Carol, > > > > > > > > > > I'm so glad you brought up the sneezing because for the past > 2 > > > days > > > > I > > > > > have felt a sneeze coming on and I have been petrified. > > Yesterday > > > > when > > > > > I went out for the first time the pollen must have gotten to > me > > > > because > > > > > there I was walking with my boyfriend and then I stopped > right > > in > > > > the > > > > > middle of my tracks and held that sneeze in with all my > might. > > > > Thanks > > > > > to you now I know not to panic and just let it go its > course. > > Yes > > > > we do > > > > > live in a strange pre-op world.
