WORTH IT$5,500

I got my rhinoplasty on Friday...my grandpa offered to pay for it for my high school graduation present and he is really ill so it was now or never. Let's just say I'm not sure if I'm mentally mature enough for this recovery that I've been going through. The first day wasn't bad just could barely talk or eat...second day was a little more difficult but not HORRIBLE the third day was really the freaking worst...woke up at 4 A.M. nauseous and threw up all morning...the third day in all was very uncomfortable and my eyes have now a new side effect which is MAJOR stinging...now I'm at my fourth recovery day and the most annoying thing would be HOW ITCHY I AM AROUND MY NOSE AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!! Another thing would be the eyes have still been stinging and I feel really dirty :( (GROSS OUT ALERT: another really annoying thing would be constipation you get from the medicine...I haven't been able to do a bowl movement since the night before surgery which can't be healthy for you) I am now getting very bored and antsy and sick of feeling like this and now regretful that I did this maybe because I'm at my wits end with being uncomfortable and dont know how I can wait till THURSDAY for my splint to come off.....and then college Saturday! Ahhh wish me luck :(

Day 4.....

I'm not in pain which is good...the main problem has to be constipation at this point....it's so frustrating (sorry to gross anyone out) but this is probably the only complaint that I really have about my day.... other then that I get itchy on my nose at times...I can't scratch because of splint but I need to keep up with holding the urge because when I get the splint off Thursday the last thing I want to do is hurt my new nose in anyway...

Wish I found out about this website sooner because I would love the support all you guys are getting...deff not a fun thing to be going through but "beauty is pain...."

COUNTDOWN: SPLINT OFF THURSDAY....MOVE INTO COLLEGE SATURDAY..(yikes cutting it close)

HI guys...well already getting 3 comments made me THAT MUCH HAPPIER today....thanks for those who commented :D!!! I really wish I got involved on this website way before surgery because the last 4 days probably would have been much less difficult for me then they were! Thanks for the nice comments once again and if anyone is going through recovery right now too lets be recovery buddies! I just feel so "bleh" having to be doing this recovery all by myself....

ONE QUESTION: I start college on Saturday.....and I got my surgery this Friday...when do you think it is safe for me to go to college parties/be social/outgoing? I am not going to go to clubs this summer, as well as for a few months because a few months of freshman fun is not a lifetime of ruining my nose but what about house parties and such....if anyone has a suggestion would love to hear!

Hope to have more supporters...this is fun for me for some reason :) XO
