ghettodub has more nerve than I have. I have had the same identical problem for about 60 years but always had a fear of something getting shoved up my nose and for some snip snip snipping. With the current medical advances, it should really be a piece of cake since it is now considered to be a very simple fix.
Good luck and heal real fast. Sure would be nice to be able to breathe out of both nostrils however at almost 75, it's way too late for that procedure (for me).
Keep us updated and good luck. My lady never had a problem until we moved up "high-n-dry" a couple years back. Now, has to have the surgury (deviated septum - sp?) and is scheduled for mid-May.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery [Beer]
I don't trust people with my best interests or safety. But I do trust that people will always do what best serves them. So here's the way I see it.
The surgeon isn't paid to fix you... he's paid to repeat a procedure that he's done so many times its probably muscle memory by now. He knows that if he fucks up he'll be out of a job, and he probably doesn't want to lose he's job, so he's gonna do what his supposed to while he's in there.
The anesthesiologist isn't paid to put you to sleep, he's paid to wake you up. He knows that if he doesn't, he'll be eyeball deep in the shitstorm of a lawsuit that'll follow before he knows what hit him. So he's gonna make damn sure that you don't wake up before you should and that you do wake up when you're supposed to.
You aren't a person undergoing a surgery to them, you're that quick procedure between their afternoon coffee brake and their standing appointment in the empty patients room with that intern they hired last month. They aren't emotionally invested in you, which IMO is a good thing... prevents irrational decisions.
Maybe I have a bit of a pessimistic outlook on things, but this is the kind of thing that comforts me when I have to do stuff like this... knowing that people have strong motivators to do the things that I need them to do, regardless of what those motivators might be.
In any case, good luck in surgery and I hope ya have a fast recovery.
Good Luck!!![Beer][Beer][Beer][Beer]
Oh, ask for the video! You might not get it, but I recently watched the video of my wife's surgery where they patched a hole to her brain-pan. It's kinda crazy...
My friends wife had that kind of surgery also, took her a while to heal but she wished she had done years ago. It even changed her voice a bit, not so stuffy sounding. Good luck!! [Beer]
Let us know how it goes. I may need something similar, I'm supposed to get an appointment with an ENT real soon now. Got diagnosed with Apnea a little more than a week ago. If surgery like that won't work then I'll have to use a CPAP machine for the rest of my life.Quote:
