Cast off & stitches out!
Got my cast off and my stitches out this morning. It did hurt quite a bit both getting the stitches out and the cast off but that is normal. I can’t believe how straight my nose is! I absolutely love my results but I do recognize there is quite a lot of swelling left to go down. I can both see and feel it. Looking forward to when that goes away! I’m still gonna sleep with my head elevated on my back for another week. I’m allowed to exercise again next week which is great!
Tomorrow I get my cast off
I’m so excited for my post-op appointment tomorrow where I’ll get my cast off and (I think) I get my stitches out too. I don’t think they’re dissolvable so I’m hoping they come out tomorrow. I’m in no pain, just a tiny bit of pressure from the splint. I know tomorrow when he takes the cast off my nose will be swollen and I won’t see my final result for a few weeks. But I’m still excited!!!
Post op day 4
Day 3 and then all through this morning I had really bad swelling and redness around my eyes. And suddenly tonight it appears the swelling and redness is mostly gone!!!!! It seems as though I’m literally skipping over the bruising altogether and I couldn’t be happier. I’m convinced it’s from taking 2 arnica tablets 3 times per day. The eye swelling was bad for 2-3 days but I definitely turned a corner. Tomorrow I’m switching to Tylenol for the pain and stopping the pain meds. The only pain I’ve had is my nose and a throbbing headache when I wake up in the morning. So I’ve kept up on the pain pills but like I said, switching to Tylenol for good tomorrow. Tomorrow I’m also going to finally shower, and do other normal things again which I’m excited about. I really turned a corner this evening. When taking the attached photos tonight I got my first major surge of EXCITEMENT to see the results. I can already tell that the hump is gone on my nose and that my nose is smaller. I think I’m finally noticing because the swelling is going down.
Haven’t been taking naps throughout the day but have been sleeping pretty great in my recliner at about a 45 degree angle. Have been keeping up on my antibiotics and applying aquaphor to my incision. I’ve only been doing the sinus rinse about 1-2 times per day and have been icing 2-3 times per day. I have been eating super clean and healthy and I attribute my extremely fast healing to that mostly! I can’t stress the importance of keeping a clean diet while your body is working to heal itself (and on a regular basis too!)
Counting down the days til I get my cast off and get to see my nose...4 more days!!
Ps ignore my greasy hair in the pics. Looking forward to showering tomorrow.
