Living without your nose
Posted: 02-03-08 19:44pm

I highly think it's possible to live without my nose, however, do any of you have any experience with that or knows someone who lacks this organ? I need all the imformation possible, and any will help. Thanks, ashlie

Well, his still has one, (an actual nose), but my boyfriend has no sense of smell due to his having Kallman's Syndrome. He's gotten along okay for the last thirty-seven years of his life. He's great to have around to change my baby nephews' dirty diapers or take the trash out, let me say!

I suppose the person, if they didn't have a nose physically, would have some means of providing oxygen to their lungs either though their mouth or a tube or hole near where to nose used to be? I'm not sure, really, I've never actually put much thought into the subject but it raises some questions all right.
