I'm curious about sleep apnea surgery.
I feel sorry for my husband every night. I think he can't sleep well because of the sound of my snoring.
At first, I thought it was just a small sound, but one day my husband recorded my snoring and played it for me. I was really surprised. It sounded like a giant bear growling.
When I went to the hospital, the doctor said that surgery would greatly improve my snoring... Honestly, I'm scared. They said I would need general anesthesia, which makes me even more nervous.
When I looked online, the reviews of the surgery were all over the place. Some people said they fully recovered, while others said it was not very effective... One person said their sense of smell became dulled after the surgery, and another said their nose remained dry and uncomfortable... I'm really 고민이에요.
My husband seems worried about me and says, "It's okay, just wear earplugs and sleep, so don't have the surgery..."
Still, I feel uneasy.ㅠㅠㅠ
The cost of surgery isn't cheap either. According to the doctor, it costs about 3 million won... Although insurance covers part of it, it's still a burdensome amount. I'm also thinking about using that money for soundproofing instead...
When I confided in a friend about my worries, they said they also had septoplasty surgery and felt better afterward. However, they mentioned they suffered a lot during the month following the surgery... They had packing inside their nose, making it hard to breathe, and their face was swollen so much they couldn't go to work. Since I am a freelancer, I can somewhat control my schedule, but...
Lately, I have many thoughts before I fall asleep every night. Will I really get better after the surgery? Are there any side effects? Will I be able to manage post-operative care well? What about work during the recovery period?
The notice I received from the hospital says that the success rate of the surgery is over 90%. It seems high, so why do I feel so hesitant? I think it's probably because of the burden that the word 'surgery' carries.
Ah... I'm really struggling. If this keeps up, I think my hair will fall out from stress. I'll probably just fall asleep like this again tonight, right? And then tomorrow morning, I'll start the day feeling sorry...
