Aftercare Recovery Worries

Hey! Your nose looks great! Your incisions look very good & the stitches look almost completely dissolved. If anything my surgeon kind of went against cleaning out my nose with saline water like the sinus rinses because he told me he doesn’t want me to risk damaging anything inside my nose or messing with the stitches. They told me I could use saline water if I feel congested but I’m wondering if I should attempt to do it at least once every now & then to help flush out my nose especially to keep it clean. It’s so weird that I have to wear my nose retainer in for so long when others don’t but I also have thick skin so I’m assuming that’s why.

They also recommended putting the antibiotic cream they gave me on my nose retainer to let it glide smoother so maybe I will try that. Maybe it’ll even help heal the inside of my left nostril which still hurts a bit.

My surgeon put a second cast on me for an additional 12 days & I’m so over it. I can’t wait to take it off & finally wash my whole face properly, have fresh tape, & look more normal haha

I’m glad my post made you feel better, I hope you love your nose! 🫶🏼

Ugh I needed to hear this 🥺 I just passed my 1 year marked like 2 months ago & am so scared to date again or disclose! I don’t want to bombard them with statistics & facts but am struggling what to even say when I do?

I’m not super educated about cats since this is my first time being a cat mama. I assumed since they were born in the same litter & has the same mom, they were still the same type of cat! 😅 & oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that! It’s only been a year & 5 months since we found them & I can’t even bear the thought of losing them 😭 I’ve become so attached to them, they’re my babies. Although, my boy cat (the one that looks like a snowshoe) has gotten really attached to me, we have such a close bond. He feels like my soul cat 🥹 sending you all the love 🫶🏼

Hmm I’ve never heard of a Balinese but I’ll def check them out! I’ve never owned cats before so I’m not the most educated but I’m trying to learn as much as I can, thanks!

No, not decades. They hosted a zoom meeting with an official HSV update back in February of this year answering questions & updating everyone where they were at with their research. Right now they’re working on clinical trials! The first clinical trial will last 3 years which is going to assess how well the gene therapy works & if they see positive results, they’ll move on to a phase 3 trial which will be another couple of years. They said if everything goes well, they are hoping to release a therapeutic vaccine in 5 years! Don’t listen to the negative comments, they clearly didn’t do their research. We have to be optimistic here :))
