My Rhinoplasty- Do Reptiles Smell Different after Nose Surgery?

  • Today we test whether my (Emily's) nose works better after a nose surgery! While blindfolded, I try to identify reptile-related smells before and after a septoplasty and rhinoplasty (yes, I had both). Watch to see if it worked!

    It is actually unbelievable how Emily managed to take a whole surgical journey about her inability to smell, and somehow flipped it around about reptiles. Actually impressive 🤣 Glad you're doing wel!! ❤️

      When you're a reptile person, it's in you through and through. Comparisons I make are snake or lizard based often, dreams...snakes. Not bad either, more like there's a hot snake that needs help...how can I do it? In my dreams apparently there aren't experience venomous snake helpers because , I may be brave and willing in my dream, but as an awake person, I would help it all I can but I am no vet...oh and water!! I want to give all of the wild snakes and lizards water.

The best moment ever was he came home while I was cooking and asked what the smell was. He had never been able to smell my cooking before. It was life changing for him. So happy for you.

    • @ILuvAyeAye
      @ILuvAyeAye Рік тому +63

      I swear my sense of smell improved around the age of 21. That year my roommates and I managed to break our garbage disposal, add more food before we realized, and leave the whole thing to rot, so I spent an afternoon carefully fishing out broken glass and rotten food with tongs and chopsticks (NEVER put your hand in a garbage disposal!). As you might imagine, it smelled really bad, but the whole time I was excitedly saying "this is so cool, I was hungry before, and now I'm not hungry!" and "I just gagged! I never gagged from a smell before!"
      Luckily my roommates already knew I was weird, they were just happy someone was fixing the garbage disposal. 😂
      I don't actually know why my sense of smell improved that year, the only thing I can think of is that year I was finally medicated for anxiety and depression, which I had all my life. There is research that suggests depression and a lack of smell tend to coincide, but I think scientists assume the causation is opposite - that lacking a sense of smell tends to increase your chance of depression, not that depression makes your sense of smell worse.

    5 items increased in strength after surgery, 2 decreased in strength, 2 stayed the same, and 1 was replaced with a different item.
    Regardless of the data, it's clear you can identify the strong smelling items much more easily now. I'm glad it went well and I hope you have a smooth recovery!

    Btw doctors absolutely do use palpation in their practice! We use palpation and percussion to evaluate various organs/vessels/lymph nodes. We are taught & can usually pretty easily tell if your liver/spleen is swollen, if you have an abdominal aortic aneurysm, if there are various tumors, if you’re sick, have pneumonia, etc. all from just palpation! It’s also used for placing lines & giving injections.

    A long time ago, a friend of ours, Chuck, had to have major nose surgery due to chronic sinusitis and allergies and other stuff. Anyway, this was back when they carried charts, not iPads. So Chuck is in the recovery room and his husband, Mike, was leaning against the wall near the door. A nurse comes in with a chart. She glances at him, then the chart, and says "I have the wrong one, be right back". Meanwhile Mike is laughing hysterically. Apparently the chart had a huge red sticker that said "Watch for vaginal bleeding". Nearly 30yrs later and they still laugh about it.

      It reminds me of my sister after she finally got her tonsils out, except for her it was taste. She suffered with constant tonsillitis as a small child, but due to changes in recommended care she wasn't offered a tonsillectomy. Then when she was 16 and sitting her GCSE exams ( UK end of schooling qualifications) she developed quinsy and had to have her tonsils out as an emergency. After that she suddenly went from someone who would only eat a very small number of foods to someone who loved food and cooking and became quite a foodie.

But in general, I usually remember people more on their gait and how they move. Even remembering their mouth is largely based on the way that they move it.

I usually recognize people based on what they're wearing (if it's the same day but at a large crowd) or the way they walk if it's from a distance. I'll have to Google this.

In the last 2+ years, it's gotten really bad, and at one point had a 4 month sinus infection. Using a sinus rinse pretty often has helped, but honestly not as much as would really help me.
