Last night had a rough night of sleep. Woke up about
every hour with a massive dry mouth and stuffed nose. Honestly the only thing is challenging in any way is the congestion. Pain, bruising, etc,
all that is really minor and super easy to deal with. But the congestion is my
worst enemy! I just pulled out the biggest mucous
block out of my nose, and I can breathe better, amazing! i wonder how many
more of those are stuck in there? I washed my face, and the same nostril
started bleeding again, pinched to stop it, and then another big block started coming out, i'm kind of psyched because the congestion is a little better, Hope that
means a better night sleep tonight.
One week ago I was getting the surgery done! Dr. Senthil Kumar from the plastic sugery dept came for the routine checkup and went.
Afternoon Dr. Jayakumar came to get my cast removed!!! He asked me to close my eyes as he is going to kick out this mask, my sweet dragonfly mask and he wants to see my face first. He removed the cast and showed me on a mirror. A small difference is there, bulged bulb now straightened but rest remains the same!!! It's even still swollen! It feels funny without the cast on it and it swelled up a little bit more in the evening. I'm really happy with the results. Dr. Jayakumar told me to expect more swelling and bruising now that the cast is removed. I was too busy staring in the mirror to listen to him Dr. Jayakumar also told me that the residual swelling can take up to a year to go away completely and to see the final results, which I had told already and I read online, but it seems so hard to believe considering what little swelling I have now. We made a follow-up appointment in four weeks for him to take another look at me. I got discharged from hospital and I’m leaving to home today.
Finally the cast off!!

One nice thing, I can actually see and feel improvement day
to day. The facial swelling seems to be almost gone, so just swelling on the
nose now which will take 1 full year to go away and see the final results.
Bruising is 90% gone, a few yellowish patches on my cheeks but i don't look
beat up anymore!
Today’s symptoms:-
- Pain = none, eye sore, slight headache.
- Congestion = still heavy but lille better.
- Bruising = as yellow under both eyes and under nose but getting lighter.
- Swelling = eyes and nose but almost gone.
