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.
