I totally get the “living like a monk” vibe—pretty sure I spent the first week after my sinus lift googling every weird noise my face made. The straw ...
The syringe thing was wild—felt like I was defusing a bomb every time I used it. Did you ever get paranoid about sleeping on the wrong side and someho...
