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

I can eat everything. The only open/stitched area was in my nose. My upper lip mouth is sore, but not enough to keep me from eating...LOL.

It's worth it, but make sure you give yourself plenty of recovery time. Hugs, Gabby
