Day 12, cast off & stents out
So I got my cast off & stents out today. The cast did not hurt at all there was so much oil built up it was already sliding off. The smell was terrible! Getting the stents out was really uncomfortable, they were so big but I already knew to expect that. I have had a terrible throbbing head since they were taken out. I can breathe through my nose so well. It is a strange sensation when you have never been able to take a nice deep breath. My nose is still crooked. It literally looks exactly the same. I've cried a lot about it but there isn't anything I can do. I was hoping for it to be much straighter, I knew it most likely would not be perfectly straight. But for it to look exactly the same just sucks. I know it is swollen and the swelling can be more on one side than the other but if you look at my before pictures you'll see it's the same, just bigger from the swelling. I guess I will be saving my money and hopefully in a year or two I can find a surgeon that can correct it. I cannot accept this nose for the rest of my life.
Day 6
Still swollen in my jowls, my jaw actually hurts too and it did not previously. My teeth still ache, I did not mention that before but they have the entire time. Only taking ibuprofen at this point, and Xanax to help me sleep at night. I ventured out of the house today and got plenty of looks but I was OK with it. I'm tired all the time and still feeling really weak. Can't wait for these bruises and the face swelling to go away.
Day 4
Well I am not by any means feeling great, but I've definitely turned a corner today. I actually felt like getting up out of bed and walking downstairs for a bit. I was able to go 12 hours without taking my pain meds. Still a lot of pressure(which I know won't pass until splints are removed), I'd say my pain without medicine is a 6/10. That's a huge improvement. I'm still extremely swollen. It is starting to move down my face too.
