I had a septoplasty a couple of years ago. My nose has kind of closed up again since then, but it's still 20% better than it was so I'll take what I can get. But... I fantasize about how it felt when I first got the splints out.
Wife and I just caught COVID for the first time. 3 shots, maybe it could have been worse? Yeah, not taking my nose for granted. Until I get better and forget again.
On a serious note, isn't it nice that we can't truly remember pain? Pretty sure I'd go insane if I could remember all the fucked up shit I've been through.
A stuffed nose is temporary. I tend to think more about all the microplastics in my brain. There is no way this plastic in every animal doesn‘t have neurological consequences.

Anyone: "How do you know you're not sick anymore"
Me: "When I forget that I possess a nose!"

You could get rid of it, but you wouldn’t like it very much.

Me, with a deviated septum. 😭

Would highly recommend the surgery to correct it, it's painful but 1000% worth it.

Can't you? I mean if I'm in pain, I can go back and be like "ok, this is worse than x and y, but not as bad as z".

I've had over a dozen sinus infections and now am down to a "hey doc I got another one"
jaybone@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 1y
I keep rolling over to clear up the sinus on top.
victorz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
I do this too. Is it because the snot runs down to the lower sinus(es)?

If you get enough microplastics in your brain, you can be head of the CDC some day.
