Cast off today, really nervous - Ontario, Canada

Well today the cast comes off and frankly I rather leave it on. For a few reasons, first I have six kids, enough said there:-) Secondly I will be back to work next week and I work as a nurse with kids, scared of accidentally being hit or kicked (I work with severely ill and/or disabled children who are palliative) So i have been kicked and punched in the past. Thirdly it doesn't bother me at all, not itchy at all. It's my new security blanket. I guess the final reason is it's really scary to see actually what's under the cast, is it what I have imagined it will be? I guess I will have to put on my big girl pants and just do it!

My cast is off and so far it is awesome! I hope it only gets better, my doc told me he would have liked to shave my nose down a bit more but the way my facial structure is that was as far as he could go, which looks good if I say so. They said I I'd a great job of keeping my nose clean:-) I feel so vain very time I walk by a mirror I stop and smile and think how thankful I am. Holy cow your skin looks like crap after the cast comes off. First thing I did was wash my nose, can't wait for my next microdermabrasion. Great start hopefully it only gets better. Off to bed, so tired.

Day 3 post op: Well I haven't be able to wash my hair since surgery, so my awesome daughter who works at a hair salon is going to do it at the end of the day. Don't want to scare anyone! My face is so swollen, anyone else's face swell this much. I look like beast from beauty and the beast. Still pretty tired throughout the day.
