I'm really concerned. I went to bed last night with a bit of an upset stomach...thought it might have been nerves about my upcoming surgery. Didn't sleep well and woke up with diarrhea, low grade fever (99.8) and feeling slightly achy. Was hoping this was just nerves, but called my PS office and they want me to go see my primary doctor. If we have to cancel this surgery, I don't when I can reschedule it because of work and my kids' school schedule. I had it all planned out with my kids out of town for a week for my recovery. Now what do I do? I've been such a nervous wreck about this surgery anyway, and now this!!! Has this happened to anyone and what did you do?

I'm at the surgery center and doing ok so far.  Surgery is in 1 hour!  My doctor gave me some anti anxiety meds last night which really helped me get a good night's sleep.  My stomach trouble has passed and I think it was just nerves and anxiety.

Wow! Day 2 is not fun. I had my rhinoplasty procedure yesterday and it lasted almost 6 hours! My PS said my cartilidge was thicker than he expected and he took extra time and care to smooth out my bridge woke up with lots of bruising around my left eye, but feeling ok. I slept great last night because I could still breathe through my nose.

Today, my nose is completely blocked and my left eye is swollen shut. I still feel kind of shaky from the after effects of anesthesia and lots of pressure in my face. My eyes feel hot and swollen. Pain is not bad, just a lot of pressure and I can't really see out of my left eye. Fast forward to tonight at 2:30 am--cannot sleep at all! Nose is totally blocked and my mouth and throat are so dry, I feel like gagging. My face is swollen beyond recognition. I can only see out of right eye. I sure hope this is all worth it. How will I ever get any sleep? I called my doctor and he prescribed some steroids to help with my swelling. I know you all have said day 3 is the worst, but I can't imagine it being worse than right now. Sorry this is such a downer of a post, but I'm feeling pretty awful. Need some words of encouragement. Feeling those "days of regret" right now.
