It has been almost a week and tomorrow is finally the big day - the cast comes off tomorrow. Of course I've seen the tip (which is more narrow). With the cast on my nose looks a bit upturned but it should be fine after the cast comes off. The recovery has gone really well so far. No pain, just a feeling of pressure and an occational nip on the sutures, minimal bruising (I could only see the edges, the actual bruise was under the tapes), not much swelling and I feel the little I had is gone now. Probably I'll see swelling on my nose, though, when there's no more cast on it. Removing the packing from the nose was the most painful (and disgusting) part of my recovery so far.
I have used saline drops to clean the inside of my nose and that has helped, although I don't feel there's anything in there except some snot. No blood at all. My nose is very runny so it feels more like a cold than anything. I feel quite normal and therefore I sometimes forget that I have to be more careful with my nose. I have even gently blown the excess water out of my nose after those "saline baths", bent over to pick stuff up and made rough expessions on my face. Hope none of this has caused any damage. I don't mind staying at home, I can keep myself busy, but I hate not being allowed to do stuff. I missed two great parties for this! It better be worth it haha :D

Leaving in 10 min. to the hospital! Had my preop consultation yesterday and my doctor really put my mind at ease. He promised to do a good job :) I guess I just have to take his word on it. I just want it to be over already and start the recovery at home...

Only two days to go and I'm extremely nervous! Any last minute tips? What should I do/get to make my healing more comfortable? What shold I take with me on the surgery day and what should I have prepared at home? All comments are very welcome!
