OMG, this is so much pressure, how am I supposed to know if I am well enough? I've been on antibiotics for four days now and I have no "stuffiness" but I still sound nasal. Blown my nose three times today and thoroughly inspected it for color........I think it's good, but what if it isn't?? It's not yellow anymore, but it's not completely clear, it's a little like Elmer's Glue. What does that mean??
I took a 46 minute shower, snorting water, trying to see if it was going straight through to my throat or if it was stopped up before coming back out. The only question I answered was that I don't like water up my nose. Some things never change!!
If I tilt my head back and slightly to the side, I think (not sure if it's real or my imagination) I can feel drainage rolling down the throat. Is that ok or is it just the color they are concerned about.
I'm trying to watch the Emmy's and I have no idea what's going on, all I can concentrate on is what my snot is doing.
I can hardly wait for my conversation with them tomorrow................maybe they will make the decision for me!!!
An update on the fluid. The swelling around the incision under my arm seems better, less swelling (since I laid off the arm) but there is a little more pain that in previous days. Not sure what that's about, there is two "hard" areas around the incision. Guess they will see about that on Tuesday too! I used some tape that I reacted too, that happened the night before going to the Dr. and I think the swelling/incision was due to the reaction to the tape. I'm really hoping that's what it was, not the permanent water retention!
I can answer the question about the hard areas around the incision---that lasts awhile. A long while. Still have it (and my surgery was in January); it's better, but it's there.
ReplyDeleteOh, and yeah, I'd be pissed off if I had to do a second surgery too. I totally get that!
