He gets so excited about smells now which is fun to see since he is 20 and just finding out how good food can smell.

Hope you have a very quick and easy recovery, Carnation

I had a lot done during my sinus surgery as well, and I had no sense of smell my entire life - until about 6 months after surgery. All of the sudden, food started to taste really good, and I realized that I was actually being able to smell it!

Splints out!!! Thank you all for your support; I didn't know a lot of people who'd had it done.

Yay, I can breathe!

carnation, glad you're breathing right! Good to read about all of this. My husband has a deviated septum and needs the surgery to correct it but he wants to get a rhinoplasty while he is at it.

Am I a bad person because I don't want him to get a rhinoplasty? I know he wants it for himself because he's never liked his nose (he says it's too big, he got picked on for it with lame nicknames in his fraternity), but I don't want him to look different because I think he's a really handsome guy anyhow. Oh the conflict...
