Here are some more pictures of me healing

So the past few days were really tough because I was feeling restless. I blame it on the pain meds. And this morning, before I was scheduled to remove the cast, I actually took it off myself because it was loose already and I kept messing with the thing and have been cleaning my nose like I had ocd. It came off easily and saw my face and was kind of turned off. I was not at all worried though. My eyes were far apart and my cheeks were huge and just the bridge of my nose look like a blimp. But I put the cast back on because I didnt want my mom to see it, or anyone else. I wanted it to look a little better before people started to see my face. I went to doctor grigoryants office today at 1pm to cut some of the clear stitchings and pull out the fat black thing that looped around my septum. This kind of stung but hardly. After he taped up my nose and had me hold up a mirror to see the reflection on the mirror aid my nose healed really well and that ive at hung on the wall, i was suprised. The swelling had gone done a little more since ive seen it earlier this morning and i was even more suprised to see that my mom was pleased with the results. She was never on board with this surgery thing so i was very happy about that as well. The doctor told me that i had cleaned my nose up proper, that was why there were hardly any dry blood that would have made the stitchings harder and ten times painful to come out. He also said that I should tape up my nose (with some tape that he gave me) before I went to bed and to take it off in the morning for the next few days to keep the swelling down. I cant blow my nose not for another week which kind of made me feel guilty because I had been blowing my nose rather gently ever since I got the surgery. I am able to smell and taste things now. And im not sure why, but I have always been able to smile and move my upper lip just fine. It never went numb like it was suppose to due to severed nerves, and I never threw up any blood as I was suppose to. My bruising is starting to go away and the puffy cheeks too.

So I didnt want to jump the gun yesterday and say I felt no pain, but as of this morning, day number 2, I still feel minimal discomfort and no pain. I'm very happy about that. Ive been taking my medication relatively on the regular and it's probably the pain killers at work here but to be honest even when I feel the meds wearing off and a couple hours after im due for another pill, discomfort remains at a 1 or 2 on a scale of twenty. This is also probably because im such a healthy person, but recovery for me from all kindsa things have been a breeze for me.
Well, as for eating, ive been eating some cambells soup, tortellinis, yogurt and drinking pineapple juice and ready made smoothies from bolthouse. I eat as I normally do, on time and such, even if ive had no appetite whatsoever, maybe due to the meds ive been prescribed. Also, I might add, that I only purchased the pain killer and infection medication but not for nausea. I remember the price being too steep. But lucky I didnt have to because I never became nauseous though it was expected of me apparently. I never even threw up the blood that I was suppose to during surgery, which im pretty sure is a bad thing. But oh well, I feel divine and have been spitting up traces of blood from my throat deriving from my nasal area. So far my nose looks even, my swelling is pretty awful, and ive been catching up with homework and resting with my head elevated with some ice packs on hand. Ive been cleaning constantly around my nose but also not trying to touch my nose. As for the drippage, ive been cleaning that up with antibacterial dial soap and washing my face as much as I can without getting my nose wet like at all. My eyes are puffy and if ive any concerns at all, that would be my only one. Im not worried at all about the results because I can tell already my nose has improved significantly as far as sinuses and broken noses go. Oh and of course the shape of my nose ;)
