    Nose Job - TR

    Ever since I can remember I've had respiratory problems, mostly involving my nose/sinuses/etc. Some years have been better, others have been not so great. The past 3 years have been an ever increasing hell. I've had a constant headache, can't concentrate, get sick for weeks instead of days... Well finally, thanks to lph, I found a great doc. Took a CT a month or so ago and it turns out that I had a severely deviated septum.

    I don't know how it happened. Perhaps I was born with it, or it was that time I jumped the pool fence and landed on my face, or when I ran headfirst into the parking meter after seeing Chariots of Fire, or the time 20 guys jumped me...

    In any case, I couldn't take it anymore so I went under the knife on Thursday. Yes, I went in for a septoplasty...the number one excuse to get insurance coverage for a nose job. So I've been telling everyone I'm just getting a nose job. Frankly, I love my handsome Roman nose. But what good is something you can't breathe through. So I went for broke and got the most practical nose possible...



    What do you think? Did I make a mistake? Should I have gotten this instead?




    Thankfully, they didn't change a thing. It was all internal.

    Are you sure it wasnt just your swarthy moustache that got in the way of your breathing?

    I dunno, Arty. Daryl Hannah's nose strikes me as being just a little too effeminate...even for you.

    Chapter 4: In which Arty gets a nose job

    Next day she was back at the office. The two casts were there on his
    desk, side by side. "I'm twins," she giggled. Schoenmaker reached out
    and snapped the plaster nose from one of the masks.

    "Now," he smiled; producing like a magician a lump of modeling clay
    with which he replaced the broken off nose. "What sort of nose did
    you have in mind?"

    HOLY
    FUCKING
    SHIT!!!!

    I
    CAN
    BREATHE!!!!


    My entire life, I've had respiratory problems. When I was a kid, I had sinusitis and asthma. The asthma went away after high school as did the sinusitis. But about 3 years ago, my nose got really really bad again. Worse than ever before. On good days, I could only breathe out of my right nostril. On bad days, it was rough to breathe out of either. My sinuses wouldn't drain, and when I'd get sick I'd stay sick for over a week. Basically, I was in hell.

    Well today I had the splints taken out from my surgery, and I took the deepest breath I've ever taken in my life. And then I went to pilates and discovered just how rad this is gonna be.

    Many thanks to lph for the ENT doctor recommendation. If I had never seen Dr. Manoukian, I would probably be wallowing in misery for the rest of my life. He did an amazing job fixing up my nose and I'm so friggen' stoked to be able to breathe like this. What's really scary is that I'm not even 100% yet.

    I'm so friggen' happy.

    Congrats, not being able to breath sucks.

    Oh, I won't be going any faster. I just won't be scaring everyone in the group and chasing away wildlife with my hacking and coughing.
