So... day 2 wasn't too bad until the evening. I wasn't too swollen or bruised during the day but then I took a nap around 5 and woke up at 6 and it was like BOOM, my swelling doubled. I was pretty upset because I was excited that I had no problems thus far but, it happens!
Day 3 is here and it's the worst. I am NOT feeling hot at all. My face is so swollen that my eyes are super tiny and under my eyes I have red and black bruises and it looks like I'm wearing red eyeshadow! Not my best look. The painkillers are definitely helping to ease the pain but the splint is just so uncomfortable because I'm so swollen. The first two days I used frozen peas on/off every half hour to help ease the pain and now my doctor wants me to use moist heat on days three and four to see how it works. Hopefully tomorrow the swelling goes down.. I could really use a good night's rest!

oh hang in there! The worst is almost over I promise. I used frozen latex gloves filled with 50/50 water and rubbing alcohol. It worked great like a slushy hand that draped over the nose and splint. Take good care and know that in just a few more days your splint will be off and you get to see your new nosie!! :)
Being almost 2 months post op I am feeling great and honestly I don't really think about my nose very much :))) I was a dinner party recently and someone took my picture and for the first time I wasn't to concerned...and didn't mind how I looked in the actual photo :)))

Thank you so much for the advice... I did that with the gloves and it worked GREAT! I'm so happy for you :) I can't wait until I feel the same way :):):)

Ahhh so it's done! This morning I was really freaking out, anesthesia scares me to death but my doctor and nurses were fantastic! When I woke up I was in a bit of pain but nothing too unbearable. They were pretty quick to give me pain killers. I can't see too well under the cast but boy does the top of my nose between my eyes look swollen. I'm a also bleeding.... A lot. But that's mostly when I have to get up. I'm drinking tons of fluids, fluids and eating ice cream. All the while I get to watch movies all day. Hopefully I'm still feeling good tomorrow! I'll be sure to keep you updated. I'm not going to put up a picture just yet since I'm bleeding a lot still but hopefully tomorrow :)
