I Did It! I Really Really Did It! - Mexico

I've wanted to have a nose job for several years now. I started having a "problem" with my nose after my first baby was born (8 yrs ago) and felt like it had dropped and was wider. Has anyone else ever felt that way? Like if pregnancies change your nose? Weird, huh? My consultation was las month and got scheduled for December 18th. I went in at 8:00 am. The nurses were great and sweat although one of them could not find my vein and had to poke me twice OUCH!. I was awake during my surgery although I fell asleep for I don't know how long. I could feel the doctor work on it, scratching, pulling, yikes! That was VERY scary but was in no pain whatsoever. I did felt when the doc was poking me with a needle. (no pain just discomfort) which I told the doc which he said it was really weird since just a sec he was pulling and I couldn't feel it. That's probably due to my fear for needles cause I couldn't feel anything else. I left the hospital 4 hours later. Thankfully no nauseas. I got my meds and headed home. No pain thank good just a mild stuffy nose but I could still breath trough it. I took my pain meds every 4 hours although I was never in pain but didn't want to take a chance.

Thursday I woke up more swollen but still no pain or bruises. Very little dripping from my nose. I cant stop looking in the mirror trying to see any difference!.

Yesterday was the "worst" day. Although I have not have any pain whatsoever in my nose or around. Since the first and second day I ate very little and "mild" , yesterday was my moms birthday so she made a nice dinner. OMG!!!! I was in sooo much pain after that. My stomach was killing me!. I got my nose worked on without mercy and my stupid stomach is the one with the pain?!!?!?! So, every time I've eaten after that, its the same story so im back at mild foods like veggies, soup, a little of pasta. I also woke up soooo swollen like ive been in a boxing match. My eyes were burning a little but don't know why... maybe cause they were sooo swollen? I also see some bruising but yellowish.. nothing bad.

Today its been the day were I started to feel like im recovering. I am not as swollen as yesterday but I still love funny. I washed my hair for the first time today. Gross I know but I was really scared since they told me absolutely nooo water in my face and couldn't bend either to wash it in the faucet.. I felt soo good afterwards lol. I can breath better trough my nose too although I have not been completely stuffed so I was lucky.

To this day, the only pain Ive felt its my tummy. I stopped taking pain meds on Thursday night so I really don't think I'll be in pain anymore. I go in on Monday for a follow up to change my bandage. I wont be able to see my new nose till Thursday! Can not wait. I'll post pics later!

Today

So I got my cast removed today and had a chance to get a glance of my new nose.... Piggy nose :**( Im praying it will drop a little and its just because its swollen still but... im not so sure.. What will I do?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? I told the doctor that i hoped that it will drop a little and he sai, drop? Why would it drop? Its perfect! I dunno.. my nose was very very wide and low so maybe its just that since its basically a new nose.. LITERALLY i just need to get used to it? Has anybody else had similar experience.. I will post poics after i get home from work.....

sorry. lol im really freaking out that comas, punctuations went out the window!
