General anaesthetic.

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 21 July 2006 08:33 (seventeen years ago) link

good luck, ronan. focus on the time-off-work side of things - and the glorious feeling of fixed sinuses!

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 21 July 2006 08:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Sure a friend of mine had this done years ago. When he came round he had a sore chest where the Dr had been kneeling on him whilst they broke his nose.

mms (mms), Friday, 21 July 2006 11:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesus, don't say that! Hope Ronan has left already...

Archel (Archel), Friday, 21 July 2006 11:53 (seventeen years ago) link

hang in there Ronan, Man of Oats!

perhaps you will wake up with a more interesting snore

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 21 July 2006 12:07 (seventeen years ago) link

So when you get out of the hospital
Let me back into your life
I can’t stand what you do,
But I’m in love with your eyes

Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Friday, 21 July 2006 12:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Keep your eye on the prize of happy sinuses! I hope the nurses are nice!

Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Friday, 21 July 2006 12:37 (seventeen years ago) link

you can't let the sinuses win! it's going to be fine. xo

lauren (laurenp), Friday, 21 July 2006 12:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Hm, Archel he should have left this morning so hopeful haven't caused any worry. It's not the kind of thing you want to be hearing before you go in. Maybe his op won't be so drastic. They used a hammer too - you'd think they would come up with different names for all these hammers, drills and so on. There just seems something wrong with being operated on using DIY equipment.

mms (mms), Friday, 21 July 2006 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm back at home now. Ow. Nose hurts alot and eyes are watering constantly, plus I can't really sleep despite being tired. I guess I'm through the worst tho. The op was fine and after I was pretty high on morphine for a few hours, I was glad at that point I had my ipod with me.

The doctor who gave me the anaesthetic was weird and Scottish, as I drifted off I kept waiting for him to say "just relax there.......BROTHER!"

Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 23 July 2006 12:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Glad you came through it all okay. I wish I had had an ipod last time I had surgery; that would really have helped.

"just relax there......BROTHER!" ROFL...

Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Sunday, 23 July 2006 12:54 (seventeen years ago) link

trust yourself

use the oats.

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Sunday, 23 July 2006 13:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Ronan! What is your exact problem with teh sinuses? A doctor of mine told me that I might need to have surgery on them, at some point in my future.

trees (treesessplode), Sunday, 23 July 2006 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

PS-- Hope all goes well!

trees (treesessplode), Sunday, 23 July 2006 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Good for you Ronan, for getting it done - you suffered with them for an awful long time. Here's to a speedy recovery! I hope they sent you home with a packet of good pain meds.

Jaq (Jaq), Sunday, 23 July 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Just noticed this -- glad to hear all went well, Ronan, and rest up!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 23 July 2006 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I have lots of pain meds but not lots of pain as such. Discomfort is a better word, nose is just really sticky and blocked and kind of tender. Finding it hard to sleep, if I sleep on my back goo comes out my eyes and on my front I drool even more than I normally do in my sleep.

Am hoping anyway that eventually I'll feel better, after all this, tho no guarantee. Specialist thinks my sinuses were giving me sleep apnoea so hopefully with them sorted (hoping they are), I'll get some relief.

Trees what are your symptoms? I had an infection and really bad swelling in my sinuses, plus my left nostril was really deviated, they now have said. Feel free to ask any questions.

Oh and thanks everyone!

Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 23 July 2006 18:58 (seventeen years ago) link

yay ronan: here's to it all getting better. and yes, i've got a question:

I was pretty high on morphine for a few hours, I was glad at that point I had my ipod with me

what did you listen to?

:)

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 23 July 2006 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Hope you have speedy recovery, Ronan.

GILLY'S BAGG'EAR VANCE OF COUPARI (Ex Leon), Sunday, 23 July 2006 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

haha, first I put on Ame-Skin Is In, this housey mix, but I got bored of that very quickly then tried to think of something that would sound weird in a hospital, so I put on

Global Communication-14.31 (was really good)
Aphex Twin-Xtal (overegged the ambient pudding a little)

Then I blasted out all 110 or whatever Pet Shop Boys tunes I have on shuffle for a while.

Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 23 July 2006 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah and Loco Dice "Seeing Through Shadows" a few times.......AMAZING.

Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 23 July 2006 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

four weeks pass...
gah....four weeks after my operation, feeling as bad as ever. improved for a week or so and now back to normal.

All I have to cling to at the moment is the sheet of paper I got before surgery which said "swelling after sinus surgery is normal and can last four to SIX WEEKS", and a few sites I found online which said recovery can take two months.

other than that....despair. I actually don't know what the fuck I'm going to do if I fail to feel better, I can't advance my career very easily, I can't go out and have a beer, I feel introverted and on the edge of something close to depression because of feeling sick all the time and feeling like nobody can understand, not that friends/gf and family aren't helpful, but I mean they literally can't understand....

what have I done to deserve this? I've missed two summers and there is only a glimmer of hope.....I know it could be worse, it's not a serious condition, but I've never had such bad times as the last 15 months.

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 21 August 2006 20:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Have you talked to your doctor about this? Do you have a follow-up appointment scheduled? I think you need to talk with the professionals about it, not just rely on the sheet of paper and the internet.

I hope you feel better soon; it is depressing to have sinus trouble. Hang in there...

Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 21 August 2006 22:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't despair! You're still in the immediate aftermath of surgery, which can seem, no—not seem, BE, worse than the original problem.

Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 00:16 (seventeen years ago) link

three years pass...

I have Bronchities. I'm in the hospital for it and more that I will share only to trusted people. I'm puking blood, having siezures, going into
shock every now and then, etc. I'm not sure of what to do. I walked in here 2 weeks ago now i'm nervous to say I might not walk out. I feel
to young to die but i'm not sure if I will but for some reason I have a deep feeling that I might. I'm not crazy or mental or dilloosional.
Just a worried/terrified and curious teen looking for some answers. Can someone help?

Kikibabe95, Monday, 22 February 2010 20:05 (fourteen years ago) link

What are the answers you are looking for?

two years pass...

A woman on my facebook feed posted that she was going into hospital to "get myself sliced". I don't know what she means by this and I don't think it's appropriate to ask. What does it mean?

seven years pass...

In for 3 days, out on the 5th, back last Friday, staying indefinitely til they figure out how to make my gums stop bleeding (low platelets, no clotting). It sucks. Got my laptop from my friends' rescue visit today.

Great time for new cancer symptoms to kick in.

thx, I hope yr daughter is not that many years away from apprec'g Little Women.

I'd like to see M Maisel develop a personal style for her act more directly (w/out having her steal like the semi-husband)… maybe she'll end up in a landmark improv troupe like Barbara Harris.

are you tired of watching stuff?

Yerac, Friday, 5 June 2020 14:23 (three years ago) link

takes lots of effort. also wifi craps out too often.

brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Friday, 5 June 2020 15:06 (three years ago) link

yeah my experience of hospital wifi was bad. there was a free tier & a pay tier. & you had to pay each day to get the tv to work! this was at a public hospital in France.

Joey Corona (Euler), Friday, 5 June 2020 15:09 (three years ago) link

you can download stuff on netflix and amazon prime ( i am sure maybe others) if you want to store some stuff up because of the bad wifi.

Yerac, Friday, 5 June 2020 15:20 (three years ago) link

I don't Netflix

wifi just has to be renewed every 60-90 mins. Pain in the ass!

brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Friday, 5 June 2020 16:56 (three years ago) link
