I do believe they have different instincts and sense things we may not, like the recent earthquake in California, and the tumor in your nose.
Here are a few tips from someone who had deviated septum surgery many years ago.
1.Your nose will probably be packed with gauze and you will be amazd by how much gauze the doctor removes!
2.Since your nose is packed, you'll be breathing through your mouth and your lips will become very dry so keep a glass of water with a straw handy and a wet washcloth to blot your lips also helps enormously.
3.You may not get two black eyes, maybe just one on the side where the most work was done.
4.After the packing is removed and you've healed somewhat, you will be amazed by how different you breath.
Sending you good thoughts for a very successful surgery and give Sunnie another special hug, too.
These little critters are truly amazing!
