3rd is a Charm!

I always wanted to do my nose and at the age of 36 finally decided to do it. I went to Dominican Republic and did it with Dr. Hernandez. The surgery went well and I was happy with the results until 3 weeks later all my dreams were shattered by an accident that destroyed my nose. I was devastated, but I didn't lose hope. 3 years later I went to Venezuela and had a revision which required a reconstruction of my bridge but the cartilage that was used didn't stick to my nose. It looks better than before but not pleased with the results because I still had some underlying issues with my breathing on the right side. Now 3 years later, I decided to give a last try. I will be having my 3rd surgery with Dr. Checcone in Sarasota, Fl tomorrow.

The surgery lasted about 6 hours and they had to use cartilage from my rib. I am in pain but meds are helping. I am drinking liquids only and I have been in bed so far. My ribs hurt when I move. My head hurts a lot as well. It feels like I someone hit my head. My throat hurts too. My nose doesn't hurt.

I am feeling much better today. At least the pain in the back of my head is gone. I am trying to keep my head in an angle to prevent discharge. Plus I decided to take my meds every 6-8 hours to see how I deal with the pain.
