        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

          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.
