Post-op - Day 1

Today is post-op day 1. I slept surprisingly well last night even though I did wake up numerous times. I have a feeling I feel as good as I do because my nose was not packed with gauge after surgery. Other people whom I've talked to said the packing was the worst part because of the inability to breathe through your nose.

When I woke up this morning I just had minimal bruising in the inner corner of my right eye. I was a tiny bit swollen above my nose but nothing too alarming. I felt no pain at all. I did not take my pain meds because I was feeling so good.

I drove myself to the doctor's office so he could look inside my nose for any hematomas. He said I looked great and my bruising and swelling was very small. It was a quick visit and I made my next appoint for next Wednesday to have my cast taken off.

As the day progressed I noticed that I started to swell more and bruising was starting to appear. Yet, I still had no pain throughout the day. I did some light shopping and laying around. Liz, my good friend, came to visit me and tease me. She has been my biggest supporter, mainly because she has gone through this twice before. It was nice having someone close to ask questions and share stories with regarding our experiences.

I have to admit that the recovery is a lot better than I was expecting it to be. I feel no pain, nausea, or any discomfort.

Here are a few pictures from today:

more swelling above my nose and around my eye
