Week 2 rockin my rhino
Hello ya'll!!! Just wanted to post a quick update and let everyone know how it's going .. Tomorrow will be one week with my cast off and today was 2 week post op surgery. I feel good. My nose is starting to take shape and aside from the obvious still swelling I'm loving the way it looks. I feel like its a dream and that I'm going to wake up and my nose be back to the way it was before lol but it's not and it won't!!! It stinks being in injured reserve though. I can't lift heavy things bend over for long periods of time, smile, make facial expressions etc but I knew that coming in. I just miss being normal!! It starts to bum me out at times but I have to remember that it is all a process and worth it in the end. Had some swelling over the weekend under my eyes so I've been icing all day and will continue to do so at all times when I can. Other than that and the ongoing battle with congestion, I'm doing well. All in all im so excited for the future. I can't wait to see how my nose will look in the upcoming months!!!

I don't know why but I didn't know you were getting your nose done, too, until you posted that on my page. I love the new nose. Much cuter than the old one. AND now you are the whole package - boobs and nose! Very cute! I see you are from NJ. Not sure if I told you but I'm actually from Philly but live in Baton Rouge now.

lol no worries! most people don't check to see if others have another review so that's prob why. I haven't updated my other one so that's why only the girls I talk to on their pages really knew. thanks I love my new nose too! I know its still swollen and has to settle and blah blah but already its so much better than the other one. that one HAD TO GO! lol the whole package... far from! but thanks! it costs a lot to build your "whole package" wish I got a discount lol so you were from philly and now you are in the south what made the change? couldn't take winter anymore lol

I moved from north to south for my ex-husband. He's from down here. You should have gotten a discount if you did them at the same time.

I went to another guy for my boobs than for my nose. wasn't in love with the noses my boob guy did and I also didn't want to travel to far for my nose since I was doing it mid winter lol you know what they can be like up here!

thanks kylee!! I have to say your video play by play of your surgery with him was one of the deciding factors so I have to say thank you to that as well. def calmed my fears of being in pain after surgery. the dry mouth is the worst part it sucks!! I have to update my review ive been so busy since being on the injured reserve list for a hot min! but thanks for the compliment and thanks SO SO much for the in depth review about dr j it for sure made my decision hearing your real life story that much easier. I love me some dr j!

Day 2
Well today was day 2 with my cast off and first day back to work. I was mega tired pretty much all day and talking at work sucks lol I'm on the phone all day so I had to really take it easy. I should have prob taken the rest of the week off from work but I'm doing 1/2 days from now til Friday so it isn't too bad. Feeling ok otherwise just sore and more vulnerable since the cast is off. Still cleaning it out with qtips and peroxide and finally washed my face for the first time although I barely touched it cause it is mad sore. Tomorrow is another day!!!
