Open Procedure Cast off

Rhinoplasty for at noon today, And since it was soo late in the afternoon and not bright and early I had to do stuff to make busy to keep my mind of it and not get nervous, so did some shopping and ran some errands and before I knew it I was a the PS office getting undressed and vitals put in. The RN knew I don't really care for needles so the used some lidicane(sp) to numb the area they were going to use for the IV.. So that part was since. I made some awkward faces but it didnt hurt that bad at all.

Then I went to the restroom one more time and they walked me to the operation room I went on the bed and they had this most wonderfully warm bubble blanket that kept me cozy, I was looking at all the lights and looking around the room and I my vision started getting blurry so I asked the Anesthesiologist when we was going to do the sedation and he said he already administered it and I should be sleep in about 30 seconds...I don't remember anything past that conversation then I woke up to them saying I had been out of surgery for 45 min, talking and stuff that I don't even remember so I apologized and they just laughed saying I was very polite and funny so I just kept talking so I could walk up and I asked them if they would get me some inject-able pain med that way my nose would stop slight burning and they did... My biggest fear was that I would wake up through the procedure or that when I got out the procedure I would be in excruciating pain...neither of them were deemed true...So I woke up pretty happy that Everything went well...

My Husband told me later that they doctor took a total of 3 hours on my nose because even though I said I had never broken it, It had been broken and the top and was cracked... and my septum was curved so he fixed everything and said that I should be able to breath tremendously better than before the surgery and I didn't even go in there with the thought of breathing better, Also the doctor told my husband that the way my nose looked surpassed the computer imaging so I am uber excited to see me nose I hope he didn't make it too much like a white girl nose and it stays true to my mixed heritage.that right now is my only concern

When I got home I got in bed and took the meds I was supposed to then knocked in and out of consciousness tried to see a little something and drank some fruit juice, put a cold compress on my head and drifted to sleep, I wasn't in pain per-say but discomfort knowing something punched me in my nose so I had residual ouch... I started getting and headache and started feeling pain earlier this evening and it was because my husband miss one of my pain meds :( so I felt pain so I took 1 and a half pill and am now feeling better but still pretty loopy...I have an adjustable bed so It is a light savor right now....It worth it as of today..lol..It doesnt hurt to chew hard food and suprisingly I can breath through my nose although i'm trying not to. I get my cast off next Monday so now the waiting game begins...if you have any question please feel free to ask, I am still using my drip pad and am extremely groggy.

D1-Good afternoon I'm still very loopy so If anything is misspelled my bad. I took and axiety sleeping pill last night becuae my husband actually forgot to give me on of my pain meds soo I was in a light pain, like someone punched me in the nose. But I slept well kept waking up to drink water for my dry mouth and go to the bathroom. But other than that I cant really stretch my face cause the stitches are tight so im scared im going to dislodge something. No bruising yet, got quite a bit wheezy when I was cleaning out my nose with salience solution and antibacterial liquid soap and Salience nasal spray and then finishing it off with brand new bottle of vasilene...I think touching the stitches is was eked me a bit.
