Seriously. I’m almost jealous of those who can simply get surgery to fix one side. Roll over to the other side and hope I get to sleep before the other one plugs and I have to do it all over again

On the other hand when my ex recovered after having it done it was freaky how much gauze came out of her head

[–] Countess425@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The gauze packing sounds like surgery for sinusitis, not a deviated septum. My brother had that done like 20 years ago and he still talks about having trauma from the pain of having it all removed.

Apparently it is borderline torture, and medical practice and technology has advanced to where nobody should be doing that anymore.

As someone in the room for ~~entertainment~~ emotional support, I had a really difficult time not laughing at the absurdity

Like the clown handkerchiefs?

Exactly. Can you imagine trying to be comforting and supporting to your spouse recovering from surgery when you have that image blaring in your mind?
