Nostril completely blocked after Turbinate Reduction + Septoplasty

I am currently 4 weeks post op. I can breathe significantly better out of my left nostril but my right nostril is almost completely blocked. I’m getting almost no airflow through it. It is worse than pre surgery.

I can get the nostril to open up by pulling my cheek outward but that’s it.

During my follow up last week when I expressed my concerns to the doctor and told her I couldn’t breathe she said “that’s not possible”. She proceeded to look in my nose and said that my nose was so clear you could “drive a truck through it”. I’m kind of lost.

If I close the good nostril and try to breathe out my right one, there is significantly loud whistling and I can’t breathe.

Has anyone experienced this and what should I do?

Very Early Ventura

Background: Hamilton releases the first commercially produced battery operated / electric watches in January 1957. The Ventura is one of the original two models initially released.

After speaking with René Rondeau, and doing tons of research, I have discovered this particular Ventura was among the very first electric watches ever produced. Most likely within the first 100 or so. If you’d like to know more, feel free to shoot me a DM. Case back number falls within the first 500 Ventura cases produced. Very early 1300L serial number (it’s estimated the first 1100 serial numbered movements were prototypes and test wear watches). The movement also features a hairspring limiter with corresponding tab on hairspring itself. There’s also holes in the pillar plate + train bridge which was for the original (and very flawed) double index wheel design. Both of these designs were quickly scrapped for the better finger block and magnetic index wheel system.

Hamilton Vantage from 1959

This watch is essentially New Old Stock. Still has its original finish and had the original mercury battery when I opened it up!
