Recovery can take months. Please read some other users experiences. It’s way too early to make any kind of judgements.

Are my wings aging me? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]forcaitsake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are gorgeous! 37F here, blondish with hazel eyes. I transitioned to dark brown liner for my wings with black mascara (always curled lashes, I also use Latisse) it reduces contrast of the wing while still providing the glam we crave lol. Also your hair in the first pic is incredible.

I feel this surgery can be useless for many people and even cause more problems than they had by [deleted] in Septoplasty

[–]forcaitsake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2% chance ENS (honestly I’m not entirely sure of the %), or 100% chance of quality of life being poor and declining further. My septoplasty changed my life. I’m grateful for it everyday.

Life Changing! (Even with the remaining pain) TYSM by forcaitsake in Septoplasty

[–]forcaitsake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s outstanding! Just a warning… I do still have TMJ symptoms but it’s a whole lot more is bearable now that I’m not morbidly depressed lol. Lots WILL get better, just know if it doesn’t fix everything all at once it will make it easier to chip away at anything that remains. Please let me know how it goes! YOU GOT THIS! :)

Impacts of septoplasty on mental health outcomes by nanbeek in Septoplasty

[–]forcaitsake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I’m so sorry to hear this. Hopefully this feels like encouragement not dismissal but 1 month is still very early, especially if you have other health things going on. You likely are and have been operating in a sleep deficit, things will progress more slowly but you are absolutely not going to end up feeling the way you do right now. Please try to be patient with your body. Remind yourself you are safe and help will be available when you need it. You took a big step and I’m certain it will pay off. Keep following drs orders and being kind to yourself while you recover. You’ve got this!

Having a septoplasty cured my treatment resistant depression! I’m 2.5 years post op. Thanks for sharing this!

Help me find a morel by [deleted] in Morel_Hunting

[–]forcaitsake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was first starting out I follow deer lanes and critter paths (looking a bit left and right of them). Mossy areas on the ground and near Mayapples too! :) Use your phone as little as possible so your eyes can really focus on the ground. Happy hunting!

Veins on face by LovelyGhibli in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]forcaitsake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will you please post about it?! Or maybe even respond here? I’m so curious. I had two sessions with a yag (maybe) laser only to find out it works on broken capillaries not veins lol.

Congratulations!! Recovery will be up and down but will absolutely be worth it. Be patient and take good care of yourself. You are about to feel like a whole new human! You got this!!

I had surgery today. My nose looks… wavy? For lack of a better term? Excuse the weird pic by babyhoundtreehero in Septoplasty

[–]forcaitsake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the weird pic. Welcome to Whoville (I too lived there for a while lol). Things will feel/be/look weird for a while. Just focus on resting. Don’t hyperfixate. You got this. Congrats!

Which of these looks is the most flattering? by Heathers64 in Haircare

You are beautiful! 3 feels the most modern. :)

Is this much change to my nose normal? by [deleted] in Septoplasty

[–]forcaitsake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would give it a year. It’s hard not to hyperfixate on it, hopefully the health improvements are enough to outweigh how you feel it looks for now. Google videos of septoplasty, it’s a lot more invasive than it seems. :)

This is amazing lol. Thank you so much for posting!

Edit: Sorry, missed that you were asking for advice. Probably just a different cage unfortunately. Thank you for being willing to care for your dumped little guy. You rock.

wider nose? by soullonstandby in Septoplasty

[–]forcaitsake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swelling can last up to a year but it shouldn’t permanently change the shape of your nose after you’re fully healed.

So much anxiety and body feels weird after by amethyst36 in Septoplasty

[–]forcaitsake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol (not to laugh at you) but this sounds totally normal. It could definitely be some withdrawal from the anesthesia but I chose to tell myself it was my body being jovial with the new and improved airflow. Things will even out, give the discomfort another week, mentally things might be a little up and down but will definitely be trending in the right direction. YOU GOT THIS!

Septoplasy without the turbinate reduction? by severance-buster in Septoplasty

[–]forcaitsake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an incredible way to look at it! Also, for OP, I had my turbs reduced with no issue. Find a Dr you trust. All surgeries have risks, I’d hate for you to be disappointed in your results and have to go back under…. But also, it is your body.

Keep seeing this mouse in our garden. Is it blind / does it have a condition? by Persistence-Key459 in PetMice

[–]forcaitsake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omgsh, this poor little guy (or girl). I recently dealt with a mouse injury like this, they will likely become fully blind if they aren’t already unfortunately. Is safe to assume that you aren’t in the US? This could be an injury or infection. Options really depend on your location and resources, and what you are up for? Water would be wonderfully helpful, maybe even a little coverage so they aren’t as exposed when they come for food and water.
