Splint off!!
Today my splint was taken off. I couldn't be happier! Obviously, I'm still swollen and sore, but the bump it gone, my nose is straight, and I still look like myself. It's my nose, and my face...only better. I still have bruises under my eyes a little bit, so I last night being Halloween I was able to wear a ton of witch make-up to hide the bruises. No one would have ever guessed I had work done without knowing. It's very subtle, but changes my face just the way I had hoped it would. Today, I woke up very swollen and it's not as good as it was yesterday, but I know that's to be expected when you take the splint off. I can't say enough about what a great doctor Dr. Rieger has been. He listened to exactly what I had hoped to achieve and did an even better job than I could have imagined. I started to cry I was so pleased, the first time I saw my new nose.
Day 6- Packing removal
I went to see the doctor today, and things are going well. He removed my packing which wasn't a big deal at all. It's a uncomfortable when it comes out, but not painful. He wants me to come back in two days to have my splint removed. I was hoping to have the splint off today to be able to see my nose, but I have to wait. Now that the packing is out, I can breath so much better. I feel a stuffed up like a cold, but not too bad. I can take some Sudafed if I want to. Other than that, I'm just anxious to see my nose without the splint. I have to say, for all the fear or worries I had about doing this, it has been relatively easy. The pain has been minimal to say the least. It's just a long process of healing, and difficult when you're all bruised up because you don't want to go out of the house. I'm sure some people go out, but I look really scary, and don't have much energy to want to do much.
Day 5
This is the day before I get my packing out. I'm soooo ready to have the packing out at this point. It's not painful, but annoying. It feels like you have a constant runny nose, and you can't do anything about it. I'm a little nervous about having it taken out, but at this point I just want to be able to breath again.

Dr. Rieger makes you feel at ease from the minute you meet him. He takes his time explaining the procedure to you and gets beautiful results. All of the nurses at the Surgery Center speak so highly of him and his work. I can't wait to see my results.
