My surgery was 5/11, I’m 11 days post op open septo rhinoplasty with turbinate work. Days 1-8 were nearly unbearable with not being able to nasal breathe. I was hopeful the stent removal would feel like an instant fix so I could sleep again. When the stents were removed day 8 I did feel some relief but it quickly reverted back to stuffiness and now I can only get what feels like 5-10% air through both intermittently throughout the day. The mouth breathing is driving me crazy! (I’m doing all of the necessary things for hydration, humidity, elevation etc.)

Please give me some hope and reassurance that this is normal and will change soon!

I’m getting a rhinoplasty next week. I know this is a weirdly specific question, I’m single and actively looking to date with intention. I’ve been curious about recovery and meeting people. I get that it really shouldn’t matter, but let’s be real no one is going to want to meet someone when they still feel very swollen or noticeably recovering. I also understand the real result takes upwards of a year, I’m just referring to feeling good enough. Those who had surgery, how soon after your rhinoplasty would you have felt confident enough to meet someone on a first date?

I’m a 31 year old woman and naturally the dating pool seems to be a lot of men who are divorced / divorced with children.

I’m not quite sure about my discernment on this. Of course if the divorce was some outlandish reason, he cheated, or the co-parenting seems very messy I’m not interested. As for less in your face issues I’m unsure how I feel. I do know I want marriage and children, Lord willing.

How would you feel about a man pursuing you who was divorced? Would it have to be considered biblical solely by adultery? What about adding children to the mix? Do you just avoid it all together?

To be honest, I tend to avoid these interactions. But we are all imperfect and I don’t want to discount what could be a connection that glorifies God via future marriage through the lens of my own judgement. However I do feel it can reveal a lot about faith and moral standings. Just looking for advice and thoughts!

Thank you!
