if you are NOT having the UPPP or tonsils out or any other throat surgery, well, it won't be too bad at all!! Actually although my nose is sensitive to the touch, and I can't sleep face down, or blow my nose, it hardly hurt at all. It is very sensitive to the cold, but hopefully in APril that shouldn't be too much of a problem! Really, not to worry, the pain everyone is talking about is associated with having your throat slashed (inside) from one side to the other!! WHatdaya say, all of the rest of you, do you agree? I am 3 1/2 weeks out from UPPP and septo and another internal nose surgery, and feeling about 75% normal. Oh! Keep your nose wet with saline solution and run the cool mist humidifier to help you out. GOOD LUCK!!! Keep us posted as to how you are doing!!
