I had preOp 2 weeks ago and surgery today. It has been a positive and calming experience. I will have the splint on for 3 days. I fully expect to see a lovely harmonious nose in the days to come.

The skin on my nose feels a bit sand paper like, like a cat's tongue.
I had one day last week of total emotional bawling. Cried the whole day and this had made my face swell up even more. Dr. Farrior explained that it's a post surgery common reaction and it would pass. It did the following day.
I'm still taking Anica in both tablet and ointment form, got them at Gnc. I went shopping out, bruises were visible (make up unable to cover fully in Florida heat it just melted away) I got a few looks but only the Gnc clerk asked me about my bruises. I just smiled and said it was a long story and left it as that.
I can't wait for week 3 when I can get to my regular exercise routine.
I am very happy with this whole experience!

My rating:
Did research and interviewed several in area. I was most impressed with his professionalism .
Hooray for your happiness! I know what you mean about not wanting to venture out. I didn't go anywhere that first week except to the mailbox, and even then I felt weird. Keep us posted on how you're healing.
