How do you wash your hair with & not get your cast wet? 6 days post op? -Charleston, WV

I feel so gross not being able to wash my hair!! My face is oily around me nose. All this is driving me nuts! I'm literally skankin' it lol. I get my cast off tomorrow and when I do in going to wash my hair three or four times lol. However, I have another dr. Appt. tomorrow after I get my cast off & would love to wash my hair & somehow get all this oil off and around the tip of my nose before I go to it. I've heard of people washing their hair with their cast on but I can't recall how they did it. Any advice on how to wash it without getting my cast wet and how to get all this oil off the tip of my nose would be great :)

I'm five days post op :) yay!! Only two more days of thieving to wear this cast :) everything is going great except one thing. Everytime I go to clean my nose inside the top of it is nothing but a scab. Im really scared! Is this normal? I think this could be from a few things. A- my doctor didn't put anything at all in nose. I had no packing or splints and this scabby feeling is due from my nose being open and air getting in which means its healing. B- I really do need to go get a hummitafier, and this is from having the heat on in my house (it's to cold outside not too). Plus I usually keep it 5 degrees warmer than most people for my baby. C- I was instructed by the nurse a few days ago to clean my nose 3 times a day instead of once an hour because the "natural" stuff will help it heal and this is supposed to be happening. Any advice or suggestions would be helpful & greatly appreciated. I'm going to call my doctor here in a few hours when his office opens and ask him about it. Everytime I breath out of my nose, clean it or flare my nostrils it feels like nothing but a big hard scab on the inside. Everytime I go to clean it with saline and a q-tip instead of a little bit of blood (which was coming out before.) there is a brownish/ dark reddish gooy stuff (it looks like old dried blood) that is coming out on the q-tip and this is the "natural" stuff and its supposed to be coming out and that means its healing. It's such an awkward feeling that's driving me crazy!!

I used to think that I was the only person in the world who had a big nose. Growing up I always thought why me? & that no one understood. I knew as soon as I finished high school and could finically afford it that I was going to get it fixed. When I found this site it was a big relief. It was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders knowing that so many other beautiful women also struggled with this same issue their whole life. For once I didn't feel so alone. I'm now 4 days post op and I'm feeling great :) I don't think I would've had the strength or courage to actually go through with this (even though I've wanted it more than I've ever wanted anything) without coming to this site. it's helped me tolerate what little pain I've had since surgery to everything from finding a great concealer to cover up the bruising. I'm feeling really thankful right now that I've found this sight & went through with surgery, and have a place to rant and rave, and also ask as many questions as I need. Everything is getting better daily and I'm so excited to get this cast off Friday! Today was the first day I went in public and I got so many stares and whispers as I walked past people. I just politely smiled and kept walking. A few people even stopped me because they thought my boyfriend beat me up. I couldn't believe it! I used to be ashamed to tell people that I was getting a nose job, but when they asked today I told them I just got a nose job with so much confidence. I was really proud of myself! I was expecting a bad reaction (because I had gotten it in the past when telling people) but all everyone said was that it looks great :) I'm so excited to post pics. I've taken them daily & as soon as I leave again I'm going to post them. I can finally breath out of both nostrils and no longer have to wear the drip pad. However, I continue to wear it at night (by choice) just in case. Now I only have to clean my nose real good three times a day instead of once an hour. I still can't feel the tip and that's the only thing that's still pretty swollen. I know it's totally normal and I keep telling myself that, but I can't help and play the what if? Game in the back of mind. Once again I'll post all my pics soon (if only I could do it from my phone!) "Happy Healing" to all :)
