u/Perepip

Had mine done yesterday afternoon... No packing, just a stent. And I was fine all night, aside from dry mouth. I could still breathe a little and thought it was going to be an easier recovery than anticipated! And then... Over the course of about ten minutes a couple hours ago... My nose completely clogged and I'm getting the vacuum effect when I swallow. Pressure in my ears. I already want to try to poke a qtip up there just to get a LITTLE relief. Or get a turkey baster and suck out the (I'm assuming) clot.

It's been two hours. How am I going to last a week? What if it doesn't even resolve after the stent removal? I really hope this was worth it ...
