Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 thanks everyone who answered my post despite the gross topic. well the surgeon called today (actually the secretary...relaying his message) and said that the drainage was normal - but i already knew that from all my friends here ) i was worried because that was the side with the fistula closing and he's been hammering in how important it is for the bone graft not to get infected...but it seems to be more of a sinus thing. the ortho had said that because i got frequent sinus infections before the surgery that things could have been stirred up (real scientific language) and thus caused the drainage. who knows. he did say that it was ok to start using a saline spray...but still no blowing of the nose. thank the heavens for q-tips...i think i've gone through two family size boxes! thanks again for being there for me while i obsess! -becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
