One week ago today I was miserably laid up in bed, sick from anesthesia.. Today, I feel great! I still have some bruises under my eyes and still have that red rim eyeliner but I feel great. Today was my first official shower, yay! I have gotten to wash my face and have spent a total of about 30 minutes in front of the mirror getting glue off my nose!
Rewind to yesterday, my doctor's appointment. I went in and got the splint removed, which hurt pretty bad. Just a lot of pushing down on very tender bone. Then came the stitch removal. The part I was most nervous about. But wait! This story gets better.
The nurse removed the two stitches from beneath each eye and removed about six from between my nostrils. Some were painful, but for the most part it was tolerable.
Now fast forward to the drive home, where I can see a stitch still in my nose covered with dried blood.. That's right. They had left a stitch in there. Only after getting home and finding another stitch in the other side, same location, that I realized it was either spending $20 in gas to drive back down there the next day (today) or... sadly, have an at home surgery.
Dad helped at the beginning, but of course it was nerve-racking.
So yes, I did pull 2 stitches out of my nose.
And yes, part of one is still lodged in there that we can't find.
Anyway, here are my updated pictures, cast off! The change is enormous!!
