Hi Dana: Honestly, not sure yet :)
Everything's pretty much healed up, but the recovery process did take a bit longer than expected because I got an infection/absess in my nose. That was ridiculously painful, which I had originally attributed to the surgery itself (since everyone told me it was going to be ridiculously painful). But the doc saw it and gave me some antibiotics that cleared it up in about a week. So with the septoplasty and turbinate reduction...yes, I can breathe better through my nose than I was able to do prior to the surgery. I'm not sure about the apnea yet tho. I'm still ridiculously tired during the day...and I'm not sure if it's because the apnea's still there or because I'm still catching up from being out of commission for a month. I had originally expected it would take 2 weeks...during which I expected I'd at least be able to sit at a computer. But for a full month I was really just unable to do anything...so the past few weeks have been perpetual catch-up :\ I have a sleep study on June 9 (they were going to do it sooner but pushed the date back to allow for the infection to fully heal). Looking forward to that to get a better idea of where I stand. I'm not currently using my CPAP...but if the sleep study shows that I still have apnea, I'll talk to the doc about getting the nasal pillow mask and I guess I'll have no choice but to make it work. 'Til then I'm just kind of taking it day by day hoping to feel well rested eventually :) Thanks for asking tho. I appreciate it.
