Cast is off

WORTH IT$6,000
I got my cast off yesterday. My nose is still swollen and numb, which feels weird. The doctor cleaned off most of the glue in the office but I can still feel some of that today. I'm still a bit nervous to put makeup on so I've avoided that.

I love my nose even with the swelling! I'm only disappointed I waited so long to get this done! :)

So glad you are happy! I remember that weird feeling, like you nose not being attached to your face, I think it only lasted about a week for me. The tip will stay numb for a while

Feeling Good

slm1636March 19, 2014
I don't get my cast off until Monday but recovery is going well. Hardest part is relaxing. I'm always on "mom-mode" so trying to sits down and relax it's tough.

I have an earache & sore throat-I think the throat breathing tube & the ear is allergy related. If those two things would get better, I'd be all set!

I'm excited to see the results but keep reminding myself that there will be swelling.

Glad to hear you are doing good. There really isn't too much relaxing involved in recovery with little ones around :/ is it better than you imagined though?

Much better! I'm glad I worried & expected the worst because now I'm pleasantly surprised :) the only thing I feel today is very light pressure...I assume it's the bones settling/healing. I think, even with the swelling, that I'll be happier with this nose..5 more days until the big reveal :)

Day 3

slm1636March 16, 2014
Pain, more like heavy pressure from swelling, is the worst today. Still not horrible but I'm tired & haven't been able to sleep well the past two nights & can't get a nap in. That's the worst...being so tired you can't sleep! Thinking Tylenol pm may be a good idea for tonight. :)
