I am in a weird state. When I saw the surgeon 2 days ago, I was still on pain pills, so I had someone drive me to the appointment. I was alert, and was getting enough air to almost feel normal.
I wanted to be able to drive yesterday, so I only use the pain pills at night. I was able to drive fine.
Airflow blockage has really increased. It takes me a long time to fall alseep. I think I am afraid to sleep. I was up several times last night doing nasal rinses. Today, airflow is much worse than before the surgery - if this continues, there is no way I am going to work next week. I am having a hard time holding a thought in my head.
Dr. Rohn and I laughed about how sensitive the nose is after surgery. Just a slight bump on the tip of the nose and there was pain. He said this would continue for weeks. Today, when I pres on the end of my nose, there is hardly any pain, and I haven't taken Vicodin since last night when I went to bed.
But there is also almost no airflow, even after a rinse - and the improvement from rinsing doesn't last long.
I am glad Emily is not here - I wouldn't want her to see me like this I am barely functional. I plan to get as much sleep as possible today.
