I have been pretty bad at keeping up with the posting, I know, but I've been very busy this past couple of months.
So anyway, day 9 I went to get the stitches out and the cast off. The stitches didn't hurt at all to remove which I was pretty surprised about. The cast was a bit painful to have removed as the adhesive was pretty strong and had caused spots and irritation to my cheeks. Now the Doctor did make it very clear to me that my nose was extremely swollen and that although the shape was great, this would not be the final result. I wasn't really paying attention to him to be honest. I was so excited to see my face that I was like yeh yeh it's fine..swollen...ummhmm yep got it. I also had some pretty crazy expectations which I put down to all the youtube diaries and blogs I had seen where after 10 days the people looked amazing..no swelling, beautiful profiles, beautiful noses and no pain! Don't buy it people..it's rubbish! When I stood up and looked in the mirror I almost fainted, not because my nose was ugly, but because I didn't look like me at alllllll. My face was so swollen, my eyes looked really far apart, my nose was smaller and much straighter but it looked really upturned on first glance and my eyes were still badly blood shot, but it was the swelling in between my eyes that got me. It was worse than Avatar.
