Seven days post OP- Cast came off last night!
WORTH IT$11,700
On the day of my surgery my wallet and makeup was stolen so I got to go get all new makeup right after my cast came off, the removal was completely painless and most of my stitches had already dissolved. I went straight to MAC and had them do my make up. They covered my bruises and really made me feel beautiful. I was just staring at myself in disbelief. When the PS took my cast off and handed me the mirror I was shaking so hard my husband had to hold it for me... slowly I peeked into it and I kid you not, my life changed. I recommend getting your makeup professionally done soon after your reveal, it's so fun and makes you feel amazing!
I have to tape it every day for a month as much as I can. Especially for sleeping... it's hell getting the tape residue to come off my nose in order to apply makeup so I suggest ordering "Detachall" which is what my doc uses... you can get it for about $18 on Amazon and it's worth it! I tried everything you can imagine and more, my counter looked like a chemistry experiment gone wrong.
The final thing sort of bothering me is the weird feeling in my tip, the numbness and stiffness is really a hard sensation to get used to.
Still, I'd do this all over again a million times over!

Today is day five and tomorrow is Cast Off Nose Partay!
I'm really hoping the congestion gets a bit better when the cast comes off. Bathes have been wonderful but taking a shower and actually washing my face can't come fast enough.
During this healing time, all my make up and wallet was stolen.. So going to get renewed ID and dealing with bank stuff etc has been an added stress that I really didn't need right now. Thank goodness they didn't need a current pic to renew my license...
I've scheduled a MAC make up application right after the cast is off to celebrate! I know I'll be swollen still and bruised but I am so excited to see what's under the splint.
This is TMI but I can also say I'm anxious about not pooing as much as I usually do so I've been drinking prune juice, taking laxatives, stool softeners, magnesium and tons of water and fruit. I'm hoping I'm not alone in this struggle;)

lol! I haven't gone since Monday morning before my surgery so I think I am over due.. but I haven't really been eating solids as much either. I have had a lot of smoothies since my surgery. Cast off already huh? Your cast looks a lot softer than mine does.

Two words: Digestive cookies.
I'm so sorry you got robbed. But enjoy the MAC make-over. That sounds like a great way to celebrate.

Day of treatment
Swelling setting in!
Today was hard, on top of being really uncomfortable, our car was broken into and my wallet was stolen, make up bag and two pairs of my favorite shoes.. plus a check book. We have been scrambling all day to take care of this stuff. Now I have to hope the DMV will accept my old ID picture, because how I look right now just will not do. Drinking a lot of smoothies, loving the nasal spray and spending a lot of time propped up in bed watching Bob's Burgers.. My husband is a saint and is making sure I am as comfortable as possible. It's true what you all have said, the second and third day seem to be the worst, I am just hoping the swelling in my eyes doesn't get worse tomorrow!
