It is Day 6 of my recovery, and my cast comes off tomorrow.
I’m really excited, um, because I feel like
I’m trapped in a little cage, but yeah again today
I haven’t had any pain, I’ve um, taken my drip pad off.
I’ve run out of the actually bandage stuff anyway.
But my nose only bled slightly for the first few days,
but since then it’s kind of like having a cold.
Maybe I’m just gross or the prescripted like ointment stuff
I have to use, I don’t know but my nose is running like crazy,
and it’s driving me nuts, so I warn you keep a tissue
with you at all times, no, it’s, it’s not really that bad,
but yeah keep a box of tissues near you just in case,
because it is gross when like your nose is running everywhere,
it’s just, it’s just like having a cold.
Just put it that way, what else has happened?
Yawning, Oh my God! yawning will literary be the death of me
How is it so uncontrollable it’s so annoying.
Um, you know when you yawn and like your nose creases up
like just does a whole creasing thing.
My nose tries to do that, and it is just not okay.
It hurts my tender little bones but um.
So, yeah just sleep the whole time, so you don’t yawn,
is my best advice for you no, it’s, it’s not that bad.
Honestly I’m just being dramatic the pain I have experienced
even yawning and sneezing is barely even painful enough
to call pain, I’ve been lucky and obviously had
a really gentle surgeon, because I have not really
had pain at all I’ve just I just hope that like the yawning
and sneezing hasn’ it affected my final result.
If you do sneeze open your mouth as wide as you can.
If you are having a chin implant like me and rhinoplasty
it’s difficult for the first like 2 or 3 days because um,
you’re so still, like even now I can’t feel my chin,
like it’s so numb, but yeah, open your mouth basically
as wide as you can, and it does prevent any pain
from your nose at all, um, I’m sure that that’s written
on the printouts that you get anyway, um.
But do read them and do listen to what your surgeon says,
because clearly it makes a huge difference to like bruising
and swelling and pain because I haven’t experienced barely
any pain at all actually, it’s, it’s pretty good.
Um, I haven’t experienced headaches or nausea at all.
And I don’t think I have actually rated sedation enough
in these videos because being sedated was honestly the biggest
fear for me, I literally was so scared, but I really couldn’t
rate it enough, it’s, it was the best experience
and nesthetist was incredible, I honestly have no faults at all
If you are worried take my word for it and don’t be, because
it’s, it’s amazing and I would choose it over being put to
sleep with low class anesthetic anytime, because it’s just
so amazing, um, would you know what I can’t wait for?
To blow my nose, to clean my nose, to see my nose
and to have my nose out of this little cage.
Because it is just so sad not being able to see it for
a whole week, it is just like, it’s there but you can’t see it.
But tomorrow and counting, I literally can’t wait.
I’m so excited um, showering is a nightmare with all this hair,
but um, I have managed it, and I’m nice and clean.
So, that’s good and my smile is a little bit dodgy.
I think it’s because I’m still quite numb and like I can’t,
I can’t really tell if I’m not swollen on my chin.
I don’t know, I can’t really get close enough
to show you, but like it’s like that, it’s weird.
I’m going to like discuss it tomorrow with Dr. De Silva.
But I’m not worried at all, but yeah other than that
it’s been an amazing experience so far and I can’t wait
to show you guys my results tomorrow!
So, yeah I will update you on my cast and everything
has come off tomorrow and let you know if there
is any other changes, but other than that they is no pain,
no swelling, and only a tiny bit of bruising like down
on my chin but yeah other than that I’m fine.
So, I will see you tomorrow!
