First, let me say that this thread is just a cleverly diguised way for me to justify my feelings about my breakup and also a bit of woe is me thrown in. But here is my rating of misery/difficulty of things I have experienced in my life:
my 10 year relationship coming to an end - 1000
.
.
.
nervous breakdown for which i was hospitalized in 2017 - 599 (maybe higher instantaneous misery than breakup, but area under the graph significantly less)
.
.
.
my mother having middle stage Alzheimer's - 488
.
.
.
depression/loneliness - 401
.
.
.
hemorrhoid surgery - 69
.
.
.
bimax - 54
.
.
.
having a bad flu - 31
.
.
.
rhinoplasty/chin implant - 29
.
.
.
root canal - 11
.
.
.
stung by a bee - 5
So, as you can see, bimax was basically nothing. In the grand scheme of things, it's immaterial. I'm currently on day 8 and the worst thing I'm experiencing is indigestion. Day 3-7 the worst thing was struggling to breathe through my nose with my mouth banded shut and just feeling restless. The only time pain was even relevant was for a couple hours after the surgery and even then it wasn't terrible. I had tramadol, a weak opioid, that night, but only tylenol and ibuprofen after. I probably could have gotten away with no pain meds after that first night. At this point I am still too swollen to see final results, especially because most of the swelling is around my lower maxilla, giving me a very Whoville appearance. I think I have either ascended from subhuman to strong MTN or that I will still look ugly due to other flaws. I can see it going either way. But, at this point, it was totally worth the 7000 Euros and 54 points of misery just to put the question "what if I got bimax? to rest. This is all assuming there are no complications. I could see that sucking. But, without complications, it's really not a big deal. Most of you would not have survived my breakup.
If you've ever made a comment like "imagine going through that much pain for blah blah blah" you are a pussy and will amount to nothing.
