Well, the challenge that I faced was sinusitis and a deviated septum in my nose, which I struggled with about a year ago during the whole year. It wasn't just a minor problem because it impacted my life in many ways. For instance, I couldn't sleep properly because my nose was always blocked. I couldn't focus on my home tasks due to simple exercises and later struggled with many things. At first, the doctors didn't even say that I needed surgery to solve this problem. But after several visits, they started to think that the last option we could consider was an operation to improve my breathing. It was stressful because I hadn't had surgery in my life before. But in the end, I decided to go through with it, and I am proud of myself for overcoming it. After the surgery, many aspects of my life improved significantly. Of course, I'm grateful to the doctors.
