In every human's nose... There's a structure called ther turbinate... The warm flesh surrounding the 3 turbinate bones, increases the temperature of inhaled air for the good of the body... In some cases, the flesh or cell around the turbinate gows too big until a point where normal medicine can't reduce it's size... This reaction is caused by many reasons but mainly allergies or exposure to irritants such as dust or pet fur... It must be ensured that some of the turbinate tissues remain asxtensive reduction of the inferior or middle turbinates can cause empty nose syndrome...
So I went into the hospital at 7.30 in the morning... There is a TV in my ward...Got Astro leh...But cheh, 3 channels only....HBO, Discovery and Disney...SWT... Watch tv a bit then sleep... At 10, they carried me to the operation theathre where they gave me sleeping gas and jabbed me with sleeping medicine... That's all I could remember... I woke up feeling strange as they carried me back to my ward... I felt dizzy and my nose had a funny feeling... I spent my time at the ward sleeping and watching TV... I can'ty eat but liquid and glucose was injected to my bloodstream continuously, If I eat or drink something, I will puke it out and my mouth will taste horrible... I watched Flubber, Mission Impossible 3 and other Discovery and Disney shows that day... I slept with an empty stomach...
The next day, I felt better and could drink... I watched tv, sms my friends and relatives that I'm OK... Then they took me to the doctor for another check-up... After some questions, the doc pulled out two 8 cm long cotton the diameter of a sausage out of my nose... The cotton covered from the holes of my nose all the way to my throat to block the blood... After pulling it out...Blood oozed out from my nose like tap water...The doctor gave medicine and told me what i must or must not do for a few months....
Here are the pictures....
