As for myself, I am planning to see Dr. Kujundžić; I intend to get settled in, though my Operation isn't scheduled until either Wednesday or Thursday (there is always that one or two-day waiting period).
I am also weighing the option of using ice, but since they won't have a refrigerator available there, and knowing how effective ice packs are for swelling, I haven't quite figured out my strategy yet—I suppose I might have to pester my visitors to bring those cold compresses to me. 😁
When are you heading in for your surgery?

I am not entirely certain... I am meeting with him this Friday to finalize the date and have him walk me through everything; I might even ask if he can touch up that small hump and slim my nose while he's at it. I believe there is a specific gel available at the pharmacy that helps speed up the healing process. Regarding those cold compresses, hmm... perhaps I will just have to ask my mother to bring them along. 😁
How long is the typical hospital stay? I have never been fond of hospitals; I would much rather be back home immediately. 😁

Dr. Manestar... And who is your physician?
Well, he hasn't actually suggested anything to me yet, which is precisely why I want to consult him myself; I am meeting with him this Friday to discuss everything.
Are you undergoing the procedure this coming Tuesday? My goodness, I will be keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes perfectly for you. Is there anything specific I should pick up at the pharmacy beforehand? I have been reading that one should rinse the nasal passages with saline solution, and I was also considering purchasing some Octenisept. I already have those small gels that you keep in the freezer, but perhaps I should buy some anti-diarrheal gel as well? Oh dear, I must admit I am feeling a bit anxious.🤣

Greetings to everyone!
I am scheduled to meet with my surgeon this coming Friday at the Rijeka Medical Center to finalize a date for my surgery. To give you some context, I am undergoing both a septoplasty and turbinate volume reduction. During our last consultation, the doctor explained that he intends to make the incision on only the right side of my nose, since the deviation is localized there. However, I can't help but feel anxious that the end result might turn out asymmetrical. Furthermore, I would really love to have that tiny bump on my nasal bridge smoothed out and perhaps have my nasal passages narrowed slightly, but I honestly feel quite embarrassed to even bring those requests up to him. 🙄
