Hey guys.
So it’s day 4 now.
Not much change today.
I’m getting a lot better.
I slept a lot better last night,
I think it’s because I had a new pillow.
But the only reason why I’m having sleepless nights
is not because of my nose itself,
it’s because I was sleeping on my back,
which I’m not really used to.
I like to roll over to one side.
So I think that’s just been my biggest frustration really.
But as the days go on I am sleeping a lot better.
I’m eating much more and I’m starting to feel like myself
and it’s only day 4.
I just can’t believe it that I’m already started
a few like household chores, like washing up.
I was walking around today in the garden.
Also a lot of cooking simple foods to eat.
So yeah I’m feeling fine no pain at all today,
not a single pain killer taken.
I don’t really need to wear my drip pad.
I have been cleaning in both nostrils
with the hydrogen peroxide which has cleaned them out.
As you can see it’s just a bit under the tape
and I’ve used the nasal spray today
which has helped and I can breathe through both nostrils now.
So at night I don’t have to breathe through my mouth anymore,
which was keeping me up quite a bit.
I think the thing that has changed today a little bit
is that my stitches, I’ve been laughing a lot today
which is probably not good and talking too much.
My stitches are starting to feel a little bit tight,
but if I smile like this it just stretches them a little bit.
I try not to smile because I’m a bit paranoid
that they might fall out or something.
I know it won’t but that’s just the sort of feeling
that I’m getting.
The stitches itself I know you can’t really see very clearly,
clearly in the camera, but they’re very neat,
very clean, just a bit of dry blood around them,
and that’s easily taken off with the solution
that I have been given.
I don’t know have much else to say really it’s just been same.
I think only yourself you know how much your nose is changing
and I used to think when I watched patients in the past,
and they said that they can see the nose changing every day.
And you really can, I can really, really see that
there's a difference every single day.
I can’t pinpoint as to where, but I just feel like it looks
better and better every single day.
If I show you from the side,
the tip looks like it’s less swollen as it does every day with me,
even on this side as well.
And it’s nice to see though when I’m actually looking
I can see a bit of my nostrils and I could never see them before.
So this it’s just, I thought it was gonna be like
quite a big thing to get used to, it’s not,
it’s been quite easy, and it’s been quite nice really
to see my nostrils.
I have been eating pizza today,
it just takes a bit of a long time to chew it
because I’m not been used to chewing
for the last couple of days.
I’m taking medication as normal,
and not much else really that’s all.
Just feeling a bit dry in the face.
I just can’t wash my face
and they say that you can’t wash your hair until day 5
which is tomorrow, as you can see my hair is very greasy
so I’m gonna wash it tomorrow,
without obviously getting the cast wet because that could split.
So that would make me feel a bit more fresh.
Another thing that I didn’t speak about
in my first day 1 of my op video,
I didn’t actually use any icepacks at all,
I didn’t use any icepacks, I didn’t use any frozen peas.
They do recommend it, but I just felt like I don’t need them.
I don’t have any bruising, no swelling,
nothing that would have, I mean if I did then I would have used it
but it was fine.
I don’t really get along very well with icepacks,
I’m a very cold person, so nothing.
I haven’t used anything.
He is, Dr. De Silva has just been amazing.
I can’t believe that I’ve got no swelling,
no bruising and no other symptoms
apart from the first day when I had,
first and second day a bit of a headache, that’s about it.
Another thing that I would like,
well I think it’s a bit strange
but I’m starting to have a funny smell in my nose,
maybe that’s just because I’m starting to
smell and breathe through it.
But I think that’s quite normal,
probably just a bit of dry blood or something.
But yeah just drinking plenty of fluids,
eating healthily,
and just taking all my medication really.
And I’ll update you all tomorrow.
Thanks guys, bye.
