It's difficult to write this but I'm in the midst of a crazy mind with fearful thoughts.
It's been just over two months since I had surgery to straighten the septum in my nose and a turbinate reduction. Turbinates are bony soft tissue just above the inside of your nose. My issues have been with the turbinate reduction. I don't want to go into the all the details because I don't want to wind up in a puddle of tears typing this. I will say this has been the most difficult thing I've had to endure in my entire life thus far. I'm a nose breather and inhaling is painful and uncomfortable at times. I have to really immerse myself in something else to get my mind off it. The not knowing when/if this pain and discomfort will all finally heal up and things will feel better physically leaves me on a roller coaster of hopeful moments and then very bad depressing moments. I deeply regret ever having this operation. The longer it draws on, the harder it is to stay positive. With that said, the only question I could really muster for the IC was what is going on with my nose/sinuses?
The answer I received was: 57.5 > 18. Penetrating to Corruption :ouch:
Initially the reading seemed terrifying. My nose/sinuses were penetrated and there was corruption?? If I take it literally. Then I dug through other people's readings and my takeaway was that it's a long process with poor beginnings and things turn out well in the end. Or at least that's how it seems. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. My quality of life has been impacted so much over this...
