When will I breathe again after septorhinoplasty and how long until the 'grossness' of the scabs and stitches go?

I am so fed up. It's day 11 post op and I can't breathe at all through my nose. Also I feel so disgusting the inside of my nostrils (which are quite visible!) are still covered in dried blood and LOTS of supposedly dissolvable stitches. My surgeon/hospital didn't give me any kind of spray/solution and I have been told to simply leave it but I am so fed up and am supposed to be returning to work tomorrow but can't go in as i feel like Frankenstein right now :(
