I just had both of these surgeries done on Thursday morning (10 o'clock). I was out of surgery & recovery by 1:00. After the surgery I was awake & alert. I had a crazy gauze contraption that went under my nose like a mustache and hooked behind my ears. The gauze would get completely soaked in about 45 minutes to an hour, and had to be changed. I slept on & off for the rest of the day and made sure to drink plenty of Gatorade and water. I ate soft foods and slept in a recliner. Thursday night I began flushing out my nose with saline. You can't do this too much. It is very gross, and kind of weird, but it feels good to keep the inside of your nose wet and clean. Friday was pretty good. Pretty much feeling good, rested in recliner and napped a lot. Saturday I started feeling some burning inside my nose, and my face & head felt like I had been hit in the face with a Baseball bat. (I quit taking pain medicine on Friday night because I was allergic - it made me itch, my doctor wouldn't call in a different Rx for me). Sunday was very bad. I was in a lot of pain. Monday was a little better. Monday night was great. So far Tuesday has been great. I forgot to mention that I have been taking Mucinex the whole time to help keep things thin and flowing easily. My front teeth on top, upper lip, gums, and the entire roof of my mouth are numb. It feels weird to eat things that are hard and/or little. Bacon, apples, and popcorn are not good ideas. Potato soup, mashed potatoes, Oranges, scrambled eggs are good. You can't eat too much ice cream and icy pops - it feels good on the roof of your mouth. Now I just feel stuffy, and am glad that I am not in pain any more ... that was getting OLD. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be super happy that I did this.
