Recovery Days 4-7
My cast is off and everything looks straight and symmetrical, nostrils are even too. I have been feeling very tired and sort of sick over the past few days. Just feeling fevered (but no fever), exhaustion, congestion, and pain around the incisions. I stopped the pain meds on day 4 and went to ibuprofen. It seems to help, but there is still a lot of pain and pressure. At this point the swelling is hard to take! My face looks weird and distorted because of the swelling all over. I started taking Turmeric & Bromelain to help with the swelling yesterday, so we will have to see how it goes. It is hard looking at mysql in the mirror because I look so different. I think its because of the swelling in my face and around my mouth and eyes. My nose looks pretty good I think it will look nice once the swelling goes down. Its hard to judge if I like it or not because its so swollen. I know it can take a very long time to see a final result, so I'm waiting (not so patiently) at this point. I just hope I look like myself again soon. I think the hardest part at this point is waiting for the swelling to go down.
Recovery days 1-3
I had my surgery 3 days ago and I think things are going relatively well. The first day I felt great, very little swelling and no bruising. The second day was brutal. I got virtually no sleep because of dry mouth and I woke up with a severe sore throat. On top of the sore throat I felt like I had been in a car accident, my entire body hurt from head to toe. At first my face was still looking good very little swelling and no bruising. Then in the late afternoon, after a 45 min nap my face got really swollen. My entire face! The eye area was the worst. I was in quite a bit of pain so I just pushed through it till bedtime. I picked up some Biotene -Oral Balance to help with the dry mouth and slept really well that night. When I woke up this morning I felt much better than I had felt the day prior, but my face was super swollen. My cast ended up falling off because of the swelling. I drank lots of water and took a relaxing walk this afternoon. The swelling is starting to subside this evening and I am hopeful things will continue to go well for me. Its been an interesting experience to say the least. Fortunately, my doctor gave me his cell number and was there to help me all weekend. He was so nice about answering my questions and helping me out. That has been invaluable to me!
