The good news is, I am writing this with two fully functioning normal sized nostrils! It's been 2 weeks and the extra O2 has been doing wonders in the academic part of life. I almost forgot how messed up my nose really was so I'll show you a picture
I can't believe I actually walked around for a good part of my life with that thing. There are no words. Are you kidding me? LOOK AT THAT THING! It's not even a nostril, it's a freakin slit. oh. my. word.Onto story time. I had essentially prepared myself for the worst because I had heard so many horrible things about nose surgeries (plus witnessed a few). I had every belief that I was going to be much more miserable and in much more pain than when I had hip surgery. It turned out I was in more pain with the sinus pressure and headaches before surgery than after. I had minimal bleeding and maximum O2. Do you know how it feels to breathe air across your upper lip? I do:) And it feels great.
October 13 started very early because I had a meeting at work. Because my mind was already in the operating room and not at work, I arrived 30 minutes late (completely unintentionally). We all got over that and then I had to go to another meeting. Big kid jobs are legit, man. Meetings, money, acting professional, lawyers around, more meetings. Sheesh. I got home and then left again for IMC. Checked in and waited and...
took pictures of ourselves. Haha!Got called back and...
put this lovely number on. Shortly after: IV time. Worst, worst, worst part of the day. Look:
It took two tries and two nurses to get the IV in. I'm beginning to think my veins hate IV's and therefore will not cooperate when one needs to be inserted..SO! NOT! COOL! Dr. Palmer came in, we chatted, took a photo and were ready to rock.
Have I mentioned that I sort of love this man? He's great to work with (I work with him at St. Marks) and a great doctor to be a patient of.I walked to the OR listened to some Disney songs and had the best sleep! Next thing I know, here I am
About 2 hours later I got to go home!
The bandage under my nose is referred to as a moustache bandage because of it's location, so why not draw a real moustache on it? This is where daddy comes in.
BAHAHAHA love it.
I loved my bangs all day.Mom bought me some pretty flowers seen here
And I bet you're dying to see my nose now eh? This is right after surgery so ignore the swelling and my big fat fat lip
And this was taken yesterday
Isn't it a beaut?And it all happened here
So yes I've had a nose job have you?
i had no idea your nose was so messed up!! haha i'm glad you can get all these surgeries to fix you up girl!
