I’ve been suffering from chronic sinusitis for the past 5-6 years. So this past Friday, I had outpatient surgery — Septoplasty, Turbinate reduction, and Cartilage support grafting/repositioning (Google them until your gross heart is content).
Cefdinir for infections 2 each, once a day, and Oxycodone-Acetaminophen for the pain, 1-2 at a time every 4-6 hours...
So, I apologize in advance if any of my post over the next week are more “off” than normal.
Now please excuse me while I go change the gauze on my “nose caddy”.
...And believe me, my nose really feels this way when the Oxycodone wears off...

I wish you a fast and strong recovery, and I assure that I will not google any of those procedures. No thanks!

I’d imagine waking up for the first time after surgery felt a lot like waking up after a marathon night of drinking, during which someone hit you in the face with a sledgehammer. Uncomfortable, to say the least.
Here’s hoping for a quick and minimally uncomfortable recovery! Most of all, here’s hoping that the surgery did the trick and it alleviates all of the symptoms which put you under the knife to begin with.
Sinus issues are the devil. I feel for you.

It wasn’t uncomfortable at all...because the anesthesia and other I.V. meds weren’t going to fully wear off for at least 4 more hours. Plus they gave me some Oxycodone right when I woke. Had plently of time to get home to drug up some more.
I tell you what does suck: being forced to breathe from your mouth. Got serious cotton mouth going on.

Glad to hear that the pain was minimal.
Fwiw, Biotene mouthwash may help with the dry mouth. Be warned though, it has the consistency of room temperature saliva. Be prepared.
