Having Rhinoplasty Very Soon! - Glendale, CA

Day 1or 2 not sure since yesterday was my surgery day.Besides the nervousness that I experienced the night before, I was not as nervous or as scared as I thought I would be surgery day. When I arrived home I took my medicines as prescribed with crackers and felt pretty good during the day. I ate crackers, yogurt and a banana all day since I didn't really have an appetite. Towards the night, I started to feel uncomfortable and couldn't sleep, my ear started to bleed which kept me up for a good hour. Oh I had a cartilage ear graft for my nose. Afterwards, I was ready to sleep but was not able too so I took a Xanax which helped a lot. I ended up falling asleep around 1am though. This morning however I woke up early with pain on the tip of my nose and my ear. (Cartilage graft site) I was still bleeding so I cleaned the blood from my ear and immediately took my antibiotics and pain medicine. That helped with the pain on my nose but not so much with my ear. So far today, day 1 I've noticed that the hardest part for me besides my painful ear is falling asleep in a reclined position. I noticed I fall asleep and hear my self gasp for air and wake up several times. Oh and the fact that my little boy looks at me scared because of all the dressings in my face. He doesn't really come near me that much. :( Today has definitely been different than yesterday but I'm looking forward for day 5 as I've read that a lot of people start feeling much better by then and I want to see my new nose. :)

I have to be there at 6:30am so we'll be heading out at 5:30Am. I got what I'm wearing tomorrow now just waiting to go. I hope I'm able to sleep tonight and so excited to have a new nose.
