Today I had an initial appointment with an ENT to discuss my self diagnosed deviated septum.
He confirmed that it is deviated (an S shaped septum so both sides are affected, and I have a small nasal passage to begin with). Not looking forward to the week of suck post surgery but I hopefully got a solid 50 years ahead of me so seems well worth it.
Looking to join @tron and all others that have straightened their septum out.

I did it about 12 years ago, and while the packing sucks during recovery, I canāt recommend the procedure enough for those that can benefit from it.
I had a similar S deviation, with one side 95% blocked and the other 60-65% blocked. Afterwards both sides were less than 5% blocked and it felt like I was breathing in HD hah.

If you havenāt already, pick up the book/audiobook Breath.
I also canāt recommend the surgery enough. Was legit life changing as a 30 year old, let alone what I would have been like at 50+.

I need to do this but have serious doctor anxiety. Donāt help that itās so hard to actually just be seen by a doctor at this points
I know Big mentioned that heās a fan of Edās newsletter. Somehow, someone got the bright idea of inviting him to a tech conference and itās maybe the closest thing Iāve seen to seeing someone pooping in a punch bowl at a fancy party? Just obliterating these people to their faces.

God damn. That was great. Shocked he got invited, but there were some strong cheers when he was done

I feel like dressing up as a bear to scam your auto insurance is worthy of discussion:

Shocked to see Duffer posting about anything other than the female Algerian boxer from the Olympics actually being a man.

people like that used to make me very angry.
now they just kind of make me sad and uncomfortable. what happened in this personās life to make him go down that road? was he not loved enough as a child? as an adult?
sure, assholes are assholes, but this is a variant that requires some further examination.
