Septo/Rhino - Omaha, NE

I have wanted this procedure done for the last 15 years and I finally did it yesterday! I am now 24 hours post op and 100% pain free. I didn't sleep too well last night, but made up for it today. I am super swollen and bruised a lot but that was expected. I researched the heck out of my doc before making a decision and watched every YouTube video about Rhinoplasty. Thank you Dr. Perry Johnson (Omaha). I can't wait to get the splint removed so I can see your awesome work!!

i slept better last night than the first night. I woke up today with what felt like a sinus infection. I'm draining out the front and down the back of my throat which is giving me a sore throat. I can't smell which is ok when you have an 8 month old baby ;) the husband is on all baby duties which is great since he is also taking time off of work. As for the bruising and swelling: bruises are a beautiful deep Maroon today and I am even more swollen than day 1. I did finally put my contacts in today which is much better than tapin my glasses to my forehead. I'm still taking 2 Norco 5 every 4 hours just because I don't want to have pain. I hope to cut back to just 1 every 4 hours this afternoon (I hate pain and if I can prevent it will a pill I sure will). I am taking a warm bath right now and am going to wash my hair and face a little. I'm a bath girl and always find them therapeutic.

Slept pretty good last and and im still pain free today!! I actually have energy this morning. The bruising is getting better but the swelling is going into my cheeks a little. Left nostril is still slowly oozing snot and blood, but things are great today!
