Day 12 of Post Rhino and .. I've just been feeling anxious. Aside from taping my nose at night and cleaning it w Peroxide I haven't been doing much to it. My nose changes daily I don't know if it just me or anyone else has experience the same thing? I wish I could post pictures. Should I be doing anything else ? Icing? Or massaging? I really don't want to mess w the results but yesterday my nose looked crooked and I freaked out. I read that it might be uneven swelling but I was tempted to tape it down to correct it. Tomorrow is my nxt appointment and I will ask my Doc... Also is any sun exposure bad? Should we b protecting from that too?

Day 5 post-rhino and today I woke up feeling good. I woke up at 7:30 had a slight headache but after eating breakfast and taking pain meds everything was good. I haven't had any other discomfort just my mouth feels real dry and then when I use my nose to breath, my nose will start to feel dry. Someone made a joke at me this morning said thy I looked like Paquiao which made me smile and then I noticed that my whole face feels very dry. I got the arnica pomade at put it all over my face(except my nose). It help!!! I'm still drinking a lot of fluids and just waiting it out on the bruising. My face has gone from Purple to yellow which is good signs for me. I haven't been needing to put the dripping pad under my nose and have been cleaning around it w peroxide. But i think I will put it back on tonight.. It's very cold where I am and I can feel inhaling cold air so that's really whats making me feel very dry. I am having a good recovery and can't wait for the new me! Tomorrow my cast gets removed can't wait for that!! Excited!

Btw I've been meaning to ask are you putting anything on the stitches? I didn't even know I was getting stitches and now I don't know if I should buy something? I was recommended a gel called Maderma but I haven't gone to get it .. Don't know if u guys r treating those stitches w anything

Day 2 and I am feeling pretty good! I am continuing to place ice in my eyes and cheeks to help with the swelling and drinking the Vicodin for the headaches. Aside from that I can say just trying to keep up with nutrition . Eating soups and drinking a lot of liquids. I have not felt comfortable to eat heavy food yet so. All in all I can say I am doing pretty good just very bored:-)

Don't think I've heard of him but I hope your healing is going well. I say start a DVD series or something to keep yourself occupied :)
