So I got my cast of this morning! It didn't hurt but it was weird and there was some pressure and it made my eyes water. The stitches came out too and It looks much better. I was so afraid to look in the mirror and see someone else! But I love it! It is still me and my nose just a way better version. There is no hump and my nostrils are symmetrical and smaller than before. It also has good definition! There is some swelling of course but I love what it looks like and it will only look better from here on out. The only thing is that I can't smile! and my lips are like numb still or something because I seriously look and feel like a who from whoville or a deer or something. hahahaha anywayss!! I uploaded 3 swirly eyed pictures of me with makeup feel free to ask any questions :))))
(two of them look kind of weird because I took the picture with my camera than took it with my phone)

Today is day 6!! HAAALLLAAAJALULLALA I get the cast off tomorrow and can not wait!!! The overall experience for me was not bad at all. Especially because I have never had surgery, have never broken a bone, and I've actually never even been to a hospital before. Except when I was born.. of course. Anyways, for anyone that is concerned with pain I would say you can have a great sigh of relieve, because I can honestly say I felt no pain. I had a slight headache and a strange feeling in my nose right when I woke up from surgery but other than that nothing. Day 2 and 3 are probably the worst. It's when your bruising and swelling start to form and you get all uncomfortable and feel like crap, but once you get over the hill its smooth sailing. I didn't go out anywhere, but I did have enough strength to play ping pong, play scrabble, hang with the family etc. The sleeping also wasn't too bad. It takes some getting use to but I'd say I slept fine all 6 nights. I used one of those chair pillow things that has like 2 arms?! if you get what I'm saying.. If anyone has any other questions feel free to ask me! This website has helped me so much and made me 100 percent comfortable making my decision and helping me along the way. I will update with plenty of pictures tomorrow for the big cast reveal!! and this time I will have makeup on and be decent. :) YAY

I got my nose cleaned yesterday and It didn't hurt!! Yay! It made me feel like I could breath slightly. When I got home I was very hungry. My appetite finally came back yesterday and I was able to eat more than normal. Which is good because I lost like 7 pounds!! Anyways then I watched tv with my mom and my nose started to feel better, there was a lot of pressure the day before and now it is starting to either go away or not bother me anymore. I slept better but still needed a cough drop for dry mouth. I woke up this morning feeling more like myself and way better. I can slightly breath out of my nose but still mainly breath with my mouth. The swelling went pretty much completely down and now the bruises are turning yellow and starting to go away. I'm on the home stretch now! Only 3 more days and the cast will be off. I get my cast off Tuesday at 11!!! YAYYYY So far I love the tip and size from what I can see anyways.
