Sunday Night!
It's Sunday night right now, my surgery was Wednesday morning! Sorry for not updating! I always wanted too but have felt a lil dizzy these past few days. Nothing too bad. No pain really, just discomfort. Never regretted it at any point. My face wasn't very swollen at first because I stayed a night in the hospital and we kept my room super cold to avoid swelling, but once I came home my face swelled up ton. I looked so funny and almost unrecognizable, but no extreme pain. My bruises are almost gone and my surgeon says it's due to the arnica. My nose is obviously swollen but I'm liking the shape of the cast and my tip whenever I see it when I'm cleaning my nostrils. I got my packing out Saturday and it felt so much better, but my nose is still clogged and I still breathe through my mouth cause I have to use my drip pad. I get my cast off Wednesday and I'll update then :)))
2 days!
It's currently Monday and my surgery is on Wednesday morning :) I haven't updated in a while! I flew to Brazil on Saturday and got here on Sunday. We're all settled in and I meet with my surgeon tomorrow to talk about the final details and such. My surgery is the day before the World Cup starts which is good because the city is going to be packed with people going to the games on Thursday. I also started taking arnica today. Did anybody else take arnica? I have to take four pills four times a day but that seems like a lot?? I'll update tomorrow after my meeting. Any final tips for me to prepare for my surgery? Or ways to calm nerves before the surgery? Thanks!
details!
So we decided to do the surgery on the 11th of June! I fly to Brazil on the 7th :) My aunt works at the hospital I'll be having my surgery and she said she wants to sit through my surgery to make sure everything is going alright. I'm not really worried anyway as I trust my surgeon, but it will be nice to have another doctor in the room as well. After my surgery I'll be staying at my grandma's house which will be lovely because she always pampers and spoils me so hopefully this helps with my healing I'm so excited! Only about 2 months to go! :)))
