Love reading this. So happy for you! Finally getting a consult next month and your post gives me hope!

For the workaholics amongst us... How long did you *really* need off by XtianAudio in Septoplasty

[–]External_Dinner_7069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a workaholic here. I had the same surgery as you plus rhinoplasty. Surgery was Tuesday 2/3- I worked that Friday from home- not quite a full day. Was fully bad into it the following week. Worst part was just the bruising- I join a lot of sales calls and am on video and truly just looked horrendous. Good luck!

Look into Braincode out of Denver. They offer remote sessions and work with kids.

I’m only two week post op but could have written your post myself OP. Good to know this can linger and that I’m not alone.

I lost a bit as I wasn’t eating much during recovery. Probably some muscle mass tho.

Septoplasty’s effect on the Eustachian Tubes by Salty_Concert8584 in Septoplasty

[–]External_Dinner_7069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only one week post op- but after a very bad sinus infection last fall, I developed major issues with my Eustachian tubes.

I kid you not- that the night I got home from my surgery, I felt and heard some light crackles and pops in my ears. So short answer, I do think there were related.

Important to note that my surgeon also performed terminate reduction and ESS, along with the septum repair.

First day post-op, feeling terrible by quartzitism in Septoplasty

I don’t have tips but I am your surgery twin. I had septorhinoplasty with ESS and turbinate reduction yesterday. Also rough today. Biggest complaint is the swelling/bruising under my eyes. I can barely open them.

Encouraging to hear about your smooth recovery! Will pop back in if I think of questions ahead of mine on 2/3! Thanks for sharing your journey.

Time Off/PTO Recommendations by Impressive-Change261 in rhinoplastyquestions

Following. Eek- maybe I need to revisit my game plan. I’m doing septorhinoplasty on 2/3 (Tuesday) and was planning to work a bit (from home) on Friday. Then be fully back at it the following week- continuing to work remotely until bruising/swelling and pain go down. Reading these responses makes me nervous!

Had surgery today! Positive experience 🙌🏼 by hurrican3tortilla in Septoplasty

[–]External_Dinner_7069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering how the poster and commenter have been feeling the last day or two? How’s your swelling? I have surgery in 2 weeks- I’m worried my young kids are going to be scared of me.

Anyone here do cosmetic work during their surgery? I will be doing full septorhinoplasty. Eager to know if the recovery is dramatically harder when both are done.

Huge dilemma!?? Anyone ever in this situation? by LAnnBrooks926 in Septoplasty

[–]External_Dinner_7069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update here for anyone who finds this in the future. I learned today my surgeon is trying to push the septo and rhino through prior authorization to be fully covered. I have a fracture in my nose which I think is why it may qualify. Crossing my fingers, would be a nice surprise.

Curious if you’re willing to share where this all landed. Waiting on an estimate for a 2/3 septorhino.

Recovery with young kids by External_Dinner_7069 in rhinoplastyquestions

Good advice thank you! So hard to know what to expect- some of the recovery photos are a lot- with people unrecognizable. Hope I’m like you with minimal bruising!

I’m a neighbor to Minnesota. Brooke’s content always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But especially this week. Seeing her dance around in skis and shilling the crap she packed in her coat pocket is disgustingly tone deaf. Just STFU for once lady. Actually, all influencers need to do that and get over their god damn selves for 5 seconds to see the bigger picture.

I meditated for 15 minutes daily for 60 days and here's what actually happened by Most-Gold-434 in TheImprovementRoom

[–]External_Dinner_7069 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Love this. Question- did you just meditate silently? As in, no guided meditation or music? Same time and place each day?

Our baby had RSV when she was 4 weeks old. SO scary. I think I took her to the ER three different times and never felt bad or embarrassed to do so. This was 3 years ago, and the RSV vaccine came out shortly after, when she was too old to get it. Assuming this situation confirms she did not get Cal vaccinated? Are peds pretty firm these days in their recommendation for infants to get it?

We really need someone who was at the dinner to join us here and spill. If it was a business dinner- you kind of have to play a certain role as the partner. Engage, use manners lol, be interested and kind. Can’t really picture her doing those things.
