Today feeling like things has improved pretty noticeably. If
I remember correctly, when I woke up, my mouth was closed! This is amazing. It
means in my sleep i was able to breathe through the nose like normal, and not
sleep with my mouth open for the first time since surgery. We'll see how things
go tonight, but overall the congestion is better. Both nostrils have air coming
through, feels like 50% congested compared to normal.
I still feel kind of strange touching my nose. I doesn't
hurt, a little tender but no pain. Mainly it just feels like it's not my nose,
like someone glued it onto my face. This is probably due to the numbness. I
probably look at my nose as often as I used to, the only difference is now I am
thrilled with how it's shaping up, whereas before i would always imagine how it
could look without the bump.
Congestion still being my main issue, I put isotonic nasal
spray in the nose like the doctor said. It does help keep the nose open, and as
I read on a few other helpful blogs, it can make any mucous stuck up there soft
enough to gently blow out, thus clearing your nose more. I’ve also started taking steam once again
which I ever hate. Headache is now gone
completely but eyesore is there still strong.
Today’s symptoms:-
- Pain = none, eyesore
- Congestion = much better than a few days ago.
- Swelling = still a tiny bit on the cheeks, swelling on the nose seems noticeably better than yesterday which is cool
- Bruising = some faint red on my cheeks.
