The packing got removed from my nose today and i can breathe. I am once again allowed to blow my nose, carefully of course, and that was also a big relief. I can already tell that thia surgery worked...HOORAY!!!!! The reason my upper lip and mouth is swollen is because he had to cut the septum bone at the base, which is at the roof of my mouth. It all makes sense now. This is why my speech is a little off, I am not moving my lips normally yet. Gabby

Your speech may be a little off, Gabby, but fortunately, it doesn't affect your typing. Congratulations! Breathing is definitely good! How nice to feel the improvement already.

Thanks Kitty Kat! I felt relief instantly when he pulled the packing out. Even when he only had 1/2 of it out, I said, "I can breathe!"

Gabby, I'm so glad you're berathing and feeling better. Now, my questions is, with all the work around your mouth, were you limited in what you could eat? Like do you get to live on soft things, like ICE CREAM??? LOL. Take care my friend, and don't overdo. Charlei

Yippee for you, Gabby!!! Happy to hear this one was a success!! Breathing is good, girlfriend. LOL! Maybe I'll work up the nerve to go under the knife one of these days, can't remember what it's like to have both sides working!

Careful with the blowing now, take care!

Love and hugs, Pam

Gabby,

Breathing is good!!! It's a shame that it took TWO surgeries, but I'm so glad to hear that this one seems to be successful and that your recovery is smooth. Hope you are back to normal soon!

Hugs,

YAY!! I am so happy for you. Breathing is definately good. You "sound" good too. Ice cream diet doesn't sound too bad. LOL.

Glad you are better and the operation was successful.
