Day 5, getting tired of getting tired!
Time is starting to drag.... but, cast is coming off Monday, I think!
I guess I'm confused about it, some people get a second cast or get it taped. I had open rhino, not sure if it makes a difference or not, maybe some else knows the answer to that. Thanks

Looking great! Starting to get the yellow tinge...lol. That means healing! My cast was on for 7 days....I had a closed. My worst day was 5...just emotionally..coulda been PMS though...haha. It was all a cake walk after that. Everyday gets better. I went grocery shopping yesterday. Only saw one person I knew and just said hi as I walked (eeer flew) by. I did get a few looks....people probably wondered if I was abused...haha...but it's getting better everyday! Can't wait for the reveal!

So happy for you!!! I will know more tomorrow, my appointment is at 2:00, this cast thing is getting old, like a clothes pin in my nose, Lol!!
So good hearing from you, thank you

I actually came up with a idea to refinance my car to pay for plastic surgery, I had about 1000.00 left to pay on my car at 1.8% . So the credit union did that for me, and just the right amount money I needed, so, 200.00 a month for 4 years at 1.8 percent.
If there is a will, there is a way!

Wow you are healing very nicely! Hardly any bruising!! Lucky...I still look like a street fighter..haha! Did you have packing? As soon as I took the plugs out which was about 13hrs after surgery...I could immediately breathe thru my nose even though I was a little stuffed up. I could also smell things right away...but I had a closed rhino so maybe that makes a difference? You look great though...are you in any pain or taking the oxy? If so take a stool softener...ask me how I know...lol.

You look awesome, I want to look as good as you!
I'm not sure what's in my nose, haven't seen or spoken to my surgeon, he had a surgery right after mine, thought he might call, but nothing.
My rhino was open, I don't think I have packing. Taking my pain meds, I think it was yesterday or day before I took 6 stool softens and 3 laxatives, Lol!, finally worked!
Are people noticing your new nose?

I agree that it looks like you don't have much bruising and swelling! You're lucky. :) No Miss Piggy or Daffy Duck here, and it's only going to get better!

You are still a newborn in terms of recovery :) Do not worry, the breaking point is usually at 7 days when you start feeling so much better, and you are more than halfway there! Also, the tip will drop. They always tape the tip higher, but in most cases, it drops as it's intended to. You shouldn't have any piggy look after your cast comes off. My tip took about 2 weeks gradually to drop - I even wish it was more upturned now. You can check on my pictures, I have some comparisons.

That's good to know, I wanted to go somewhere tonight,so my husband took me to the grocery store, I know that's what I wanted Lol! I did the hat and the hood with the head down look!! by the time I got home,I felt like crap, I think It was from keeping my head down to much, Lol!!!
too much to soon!
I think my cast comes on Tue.
September 21, 2013
Oh that was too much too soon! I'm surprised you even had the energy to go! :)) Good for you though that you made it and got to get out of the house. I remember wanting to get out, but wasn't brave enough! Didn't think of the hat thing :)
