Re: Rhinoplasty On A Female
I had a deviated septum on my left side and I guess they did something similar, but, I didn't want my nose changed and it's not. It didn't affect my breathing. It was thought it might make it better. I didn't wear makeup though. I didn't sleep the night before because I had never been in a hospital or had any surgeries. I was afraid of the anesthesia and even donated my own blood although my ENT doctor assured me it's rare to need blood for that surgery. The anesthesiologist called it, "her cocktail", and told me I'd be awake, but, in a twilight zone state. I remember her tapping my left hand and saying my name. I know I had a female doctor with my doctor overseeing the surgery and interns watching it on a big screen. I remember my doctor looking down on me upside down telling me he was there, opening my eyes a few times and waking up in recovery starving with, "All My Children" on the tv. They fed me and I was fine. My boss took me home. I worked across the street from the hospital, went for follow up and was holding my niece, who was about two or so. The doctor told me not to chew anything hard or lift. I told him I had a ham sandwich and diet cola in recovery, had been babysitting and I was fine, but, everyone is different. I'm allergic to nearly everything. A woman I worked with had anesthesia and spent two weeks in bed, but, I can't remember what she had done. It was awhile ago. I think the woman had the makeup on for the video and the lips may be tattooed. I'm not sure about the eyes. Could be. |
