Once I get a hold of them, I will definitely have the docs providing third/fourth opinions take a look and compare them. I think that will give me some more certainty about what (if anything) was done to my turbinates. 2) It says I had septoplasty, but doesn’t say what part of the septum was operated on. I do know that several docs said before my surgery that my left side “buckled” pretty high up there. 3) As for my FESS, it says I had ethmoidectomy, frontal sinustomy, maxillary sinusotomy, and sphenoidotomy. I don’t see the term antrostomy anywhere. All of it was endoscopic and performed bi-laterally. Again, there is absolutely no mention of TR---I have combed through it a hundred times. 4) The pathology report is separate from the op report and I don’t have it (there a reference to it in the op notes). I will request it. 5) I can breathe through both my nostrils, including the left (dry) nostril. I would say I usually feel like I don’t get quite as much air in my left nostril as my right, but I think that is because the left is usually somewhat congested. When I say congested, I mean it’s usually partly congested where there is some thick mucus that is partly blocking my airway. Periodically when I pass mucus it will feel more open where it is not at all congested. And every so often it will totally close up for a few minutes. But 90% of the time or more I am able to get air through it but it is partly congested.
