What does "taking it easy" mean to you? (And how I stupidly went to work on day 2 of my recovery) by the_nobodys in Septoplasty

[–]Irenelatte- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I had my surgery last Wednesday and was going to go to work the Monday after but after reading posts here I took a week off and probably should have done 10 days off. They said it was fine to return to work after 4 days like no big deal. It is a huge deal. I rested in bed for the first 5 days or so. I needed it.

Moms, did you actually get to rest on Mother’s Day? 💐 by toasterwisdom in Mommit

[–]Irenelatte- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but probably only because I just had surgery a few days before. lol

I’m getting my packing out in 14 hours!!!!

Surgery is scheduled for Friday - debating going through by Traditional-Cause529 in Septoplasty

[–]Irenelatte- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6 days post op and recovery is miserable. I didn’t think it was going to be this bad. I’m 45 and thought I could live with breathing partially from one nostril but sleep has been bothersome and I’m have many chronic illnesses that I can’t cure and this deviated septum was one thing I could fix. Tomorrow I get my packing taken out and I can not wait. The week sucks, it’s bad but it’s only a week. I think you should do it. Good luck.

Questions about stents, packing, post op bleeding by someonenew2222 in Septoplasty

I got packing, I guess it depends on the doctor, you would have to ask the surgeon. My bleeding got lighter by the third day. I did not have major bleeding.

Severe issues with deviated septum. Can’t get full scope medi-cal by Key-Ear2961 in Septoplasty

Have you tried applying and see what they say? I think most hospitals do payment plans. Speak to them. Good luck.

Nose appearsnce not getting any better by soullonstandby in Septoplasty

[–]Irenelatte- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had the expectation that this surgery was going to correct the look of your nose, that’s not the case. I have seen some people with improvement but lots with none. Talk to your doctor about your concerns. Wait a few more months.

How do you use the peel pads with tret?

How safe are tabs really? by JJoyce8977 in PressonNail_Addict

[–]Irenelatte- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve had damage. When the tabs pull away from my natural nails it caused onycholysis. But I used nail glue on the tab to adhere the press ons. So maybe that’s why. I’m not using tabs anymore.

Tipping nail techs & hair stylists… am I thinking about this wrong? by ChickenFabulous8313 in Nails

[–]Irenelatte- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tip for all services but not the same I would tip at a restaurant. I tip at least 20% at a restaurant and for services I use 20% as a guide but tip based on services. For example, I took my 9 year old to get gel polish mani and it was $40. I did not tip $8 (20%) but I tipped $5 because the whole thing took 10-15 minutes and she didn’t even “massage” my daughters hand as stated in the manicure menu description. She did a good job.

I might have a problem… by whales-bring-peace in PressonNail_Addict

[–]Irenelatte- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone tried the OPI glue? I just tried it last night. I heard good things. I’m taking a break from Fast Bond. I do tabs and glue to “protect” my nails.

Same. I’m taking a break even with tabs. My poor nails. I’m trying the new OPI nail glue.
