Surgery is scary because you’re helpless and having to trust strangers. I’m so so so proud of you. 💜
It is BANANAS that they expected you to just ignore someone screaming in the next bed before and after surgery!!! That would stress anyone out! I'm so glad you advocated for yourself and that the weirdly staring nurse 🤔moved you to another room. Surgery and recovery are already hard enough without all the extra BS you went through. 😟Glad you're feeling---and breathing---better now! 😃❤
My thoughts exactly! Maybe that screaming lady needed some additional sedation. I understand that sometimes people have reactions, and can't control themselves, but the hospital should have a protocol in place for situations like that. It's not fair to the other patients who are also having surgery, and having their own emotions and anxiety going on.
I genuinely don't know how this was everyone's reaction. Ignore it?! HELLO she's screaming!
i have had multiple jaw surgeries and a septum correction as well and the “i can’t survive this, i want to die” thoughts are very common for me as well! i think it’s just an autistic response to the sheer amount of pain/misery you’re in after surgery. it will get better! hope your recovery starts going better soon 🍀
Thanks for sharing. I get this feeling every time I get a migraine and start vomiting for hours. I always feel stupid because I know the body is strong, but I also know sudden heart attacks and brain hemorrhages happen too, and I know that one day I will actually die, and I won't be able to come back to say "I said I was dying"... I don't know...
i completely reasonable with this as well, thank you all for sharing 🩷
sending a lot of love!
Sounds like a moment of total dissociation. 💞✨
literally started laughing at the side eye demonstration LOL!!! surgery is so dysregulating, i always wake up from anesthesia feeling super queasy. I threw up 3 times after my top surgery even after getting a patch to stop the naseau, but the dang post-op nurses shoved cranberry juice into me as soon as i was awake! i was so groggy and barely there that even tho i was saying "no no i cant have this i'll throw up!" but all i did was open my mouth and drink ;; i'm so sorry about your experience coming out of surgery, i hope future procedures have better post-op experiences for you. love your videos and i hope your continual recovery is smooth!!
I had a septoplasty a few years ago. I also watched videos of the procedure and the recovery process from various blogs or whatever. They made it look so effing easy, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I have a fear of not being able to breathe, so the panic was real. My poor husband at the time did try his best to soothe my nerves, but I wasn’t coming down from that level of panic. I do have asthma, so I did end up using my nebulizer just because I was so effing worked up. The whole thing was a sensory NIGHTMARE.
I went to another ENT in a different state, and once he stuck that camera up my nose, he said “interesting… 🤨.” OH GOD WHAT NOW!?
My septoplasty apparently needs a revision because it wasn’t done right the first time… plus I need some other procedure to open up my nostrils a bit more. I can’t go through that again…
Sorry to hear about your experience
Is it the lateral nasal implant? I’m surprised to hear so many people have had to have septoplasty revisions!
@@thethoughtspot222 I’m sorry to hear about your experience, as well.
As far as I know, the doctor just removed the crooked part of my septum and sewed it back up… he also reduced the size of my turbinates, but my new ENT doctor said he couldn’t even tell.
I’m sending over positive vibes in hopes that you won’t need a revision!
It is actually quite easy to spot, well to hear, hearing someone breathe through their mouth(which i can hear at the start of the video as well) to me would indicate someone with issues breathing though the nose, and with it comes so many issues, not being able to sleep properly at night, snoring, not getting enough oxygen, all that leading to not getting good rest and it affecting the entire day as soon as you wake up. Plus immunity issues since the nose filters out some stuff too(more susceptible to colds etc), then also the throat getting dry because breathing is done through the mouth(not being able to speak for long). Since it is a habit because of the deviated septum, it might still stay a habit even after recovery, but that can be solved by checking in with your breathing from time to time-former speech therapy student:) I'm glad you took the step even with all the discomfort around it, and wish you lots of ease with the following recovery days😊😊😊 (former speech therapy student)
What an intense experience 🤲🏾 wishing you a full recovery Irene❤️🩹
I gasped when u said u were going to watch Aquamarine. Aquamarine is one of the best comfort movies fr. I swear it ends all suffering
Wow this brings back so many memories! I had my septum fixed maybe 8 years ago and it was the worst experience. They had to take the splints out early because they were triggering constant migraines. And of course waking up from anesthesia was absolutely terrible. At times you could have been describing my thoughts exactly - thank you so much for sharing! I have a really bad memory so my brain pretty much trashes most experiences until I hear other people talking about them and then I can start to remember stuff. 💛💛
Thank you for posting your experience and sharing the gross bits too! Loved the voice over talking about the experience/ what to look for. I can't imagine having splints up my nose!
I had surgery on my sinus to remove a ton of polyps and fix my deviated septum. It was rough and I went back to work just days later and my nose would leak/bleed randomly. I hope your recovery goes well.
Thats brave. I probably have it too but will likely never get surgery unless it gets really bad…
Thank you for sharing your experience, Irene! I haven't had a septoplasty (though I do have a deviated septum, and it would probably help me with my breathing issues), but I've had other types of surgeries, and I can sure relate to what you talked about.
Surgery is unpleasant and difficult to get through even for NT's, but for autistics I think it's worse. For one thing, anything that puts me out of my regular daily routine is very triggering for me. And of course having surgery and going through the recovery process puts you into a whole different routine. And then after any surgery, your body isn't functioning the way it normally does, so it's a huge change; another major trigger! Not to mention the pain, and uncertainty of not knowing when I'm going to feel better.
I'm so happy for you that you have such a loving, compassionate partner who is also a nurse! It would make such a difference to have someone to help you through difficult times, especially when you're in such a vulnerable position as after surgery.
I hope you continue to feel better and better every day, and that you can return to feeling 100% again very soon!
Just listening to your story, it was like I could feel everything you described but in my own nose. I wonder if this is another autism thing? Because I know my nostrils and throat are going to be empathizing for at least another couple hours after watching this 😅 I’m so happy you got through the recovery, thank you for sharing!
Well done on getting through your journey!
I had Le Fort surgery many years ago to correct a misaligned bite and it was tough but absolutely worth it for my confidence and correcting biting issues. Good luck! ❤
Yooo the side eye nurse part had me DYING 😭😭😭 thanks for sharing your experience with us, I’m glad to hear you’re on the other side of things now 🫶🏼
I have a huge fear of anything medical, I'm super sensitive to bodily sensations, and honest videos like this help! Even if it's difficult other people go through surgery and survive. I hope you continue to heal well.
Oh wow . I’m early
Hi, I hope recovery ends well though!
Thank you for making this. I'd love to hear few months post operation update
Tofu soup sounds like a great recovery food. When I had a tooth extraction, my favourite thing to eat was cream of chicken soup with toasted rye bread with raisins and dried cranberries. I have no idea if I can find that bread anymore, because it was a new product from Dempster's at the time, but the flavour combination of the dried fruit and the soup brought me so much joy!
I would have asked for aftercare instructions. They are supposed to give you those
My husband had this today and turbinate reduction as well. I'm caring for him, helping change his gauze and irrigate his nose.
Wondering if I need to keep doing this all night every hour?
I hope you get better soon
Omg…… not to dismiss how you felt and what you were going through, but that old lady story made me die laughing 😂 Not because any part of it was funny, but because you endured sitcom levels of bad luck. Especially when you both woke up at the same time. It’s like you were cosmically linked or something. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experience!!
It’s okay I laugh at situations like that too 🤦🏻♀️
I had a septoplasty, turbinate reduction, & alar batten grafts (they took some of the cartilage and put it in my nostrils to hold them open because they would collapse when I breathe in). I actually didn’t have any pain and adjusted to breathing through my mouth quickly because I already could barely breathe through my nose before, but the WORST was I was not allowed to lay down to sleep. I had to sit up for a month. It was brutal.
I am one week post septoplasty and turbinate reduction operation and can relate to the throat sore and clogged nose which is horrible. On top, I started having stiff neck due to sleeping upright 😢 Yesterday the doctor removed the splint which was a game changer. However, I am in a bit of a panic mode because I feel like my nose shape has changed. Nostrils are still large and the tip of my nose a bit swollen. 😫 How long did it take for you before it all went back to normal? I am seriously worried this is how it’s gonna look like from now on. 😭
It took at least 3 weeks for my swelling to go down, don’t worry!
@@thethoughtspot222 omg that’s a relief! Other videos I saw really looked like no swelling. Thanks for the reassurance and for making this vlog!
Ugh, coming out of surgery is the freaking worst, never mind all the extra panic inducing triggers you were dealing with! I was getting anxious just listening to you describe the experience! 💚 Also, how are you able to braid your hair and talk at the same time? 🤣🤣
I just done my septoplaty have few days ago....and still waiting for the day when my nasel splints going to be remove.... I'm going through a worst hard days of my life due to extreme panic attack.... please guys pray for me to get well soon....🙏❣️
I took a septoplasty on the 10th of May, and now I have a septal perforation. It is scaring me. I've been so panicky for two weeks now it is killing me.
This is day 2 after my op everything is kinda horrible but i guess it will be worth it in a month from now❤❤
Cat 😻😻😻
One or two tablespoons of epsom salt in a glass of water tastes horrible but will clear you out within four hours. Stir until dissolved and down the whole glass. I cannot stress this enough- START WITH ONE TABLESPOON or you will be a geyser. :) It might not have been the solution for you at this point because it definitely would burn the shit out of your sore throat, but I imagine it might have helped it as well- like a saltwater gargle.
Thanks
Irene, you are one of my favourite content makers. I appreciate your work and I learned a lot from you (and I’m about twice as old as you!)
I wish you a quick and smooth recovery! 🩵
Thank you for the donation Judith!
36:52 I feel like you being triggered by the elderly woman erratically screaming for help and also your description of her -- the fact that she's 80 or-so with no one left in her life -- was potentially related to the idea and concept of death and dying... Like, you have this woman who's pretty close to the end of her days and she's also screaming but no one knows why (mystery = anxiety)... like it might have felt like a physical manifestation of your personal fears regarding death maybe? I would have wondered if something went wrong with that woman's surgery(?) or medical treatment and would've further internalised those fears for *her* for *myself*, unintentionally inducing feelings of panic. That's just what I think though, is that you were reminded of death and maybe even your own surgery failing? Just my 2 cents tho!
🫂😿❤️
