Surgery Update

So I was wrong... way wrong. Now I have to have nasal reconstructive surgery that includes a Septoplasty (straightening a deviated septum by removing cartilage and bone)and Turbinate Surgery (bone and mucus membrane being removed). So that dreadful, miserable packing I was trying to avoid will be definite along with a splint. This by itself could cause throat dryness and irritation... but add that with the tonsilectomy I'm going to have and we're screaming for the morphine drip. I think I'm going to request to be put under for say, 4 days until the packing and splint can be removed. I had my nose packed almost 10 years ago, and I can remember it vividly. I would rather birth 4 children consecutively than have my nose packed for days on end. I guess the good thing is I probably won't notice that my throat is killing me since I'll be so distraught about my nose. I need some anxiety medicine... Badly. I'm already freaking out about this and I don't even know what day it will be yet. Not to mention that I've thrown up every single time I've had surgery and throwing up while having a packed nose is unbearable. I think I would rather not be able to breathe.
