My nose is so much more swollen today :( bummer!! I guess just bc the cast was holding the swelling down? Oh well, it's still better than before lol. I forget to say yesterday, my surgeon said no sunglasses or glasses for 6 weeks and also NO sunburn. He said if it gets sunburned, it will swell up and take a LONG time to come down. So looks like sunscreen and hats for me!

You look great and I really enjoyed reading your "diary"! Your bruising and swelling looked pretty good. My surgery is in 3 days and I'm starting to freak out a little. When I think about it actually happening, my heart races and I feel a little light headed. I will definately be needing those anti anxiety meds the night before! I've even cried a little about it. Did you feel this way?
I loved your pre-op shopping list! I did this today and I just can't believe that it is really happening. It's been just an "idea" and something I've thought about for more than 15 years now (I'm in my 30's now with 3 young kids) that it's hard to believe that it's really happening. I wake up every morning wanting to call the whole thing off (too late now) but then my husband calms me down and my girlfriends have been super supportive.
I'm also going to an ENT/ facial plastic surgeon. Rhinoplasty is his specialty for over 24 years, so I feel like I'm in good hands. I really liked his natural looking before and afters of other patients. I spoke with a few of his former patients too. I'm just really nervous about the results and if my kids will like mommy's new look.
So glad it all worked for you! You look beautiful!

Awe, thank you so much! Yes!! I didn't end up getting any antianxiety pill... I was absolutely terrified! I threw up before leaving for the hospital, I was so scared. The worst part is waiting. I had to be there at 730 and surgery didn't start til 10. But there is absolutely nothing to be worried about. Literally the wheel you in the OR, put some meds in ur IV and your out. Then they wake you up and wheel you to recovery, where you fall back asleep and you won't even remember it lol. I woke up and my eyes were really blurry from the ointment they put on them and that was the worst of it. I felt pressure on my nose but it wasn't a big deal at all. I was a little nauseous even though I had something in my IV for it...so i'd ask before hand. Honestly, just don't think about it. While in pre-op I had a TV in my room and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was on and it was the best thing because I was laughing, not thinking about the surgery and that really calmed me down. You're gonna be fine! If you have any other questions, let me know!
