Surgery Update

I don't think my surgery could have gone any better! I had the best anesthesiologist ever! The last thing I remembered was telling Kale to give me a kiss because I had 30 seconds left, then I was in the recovery room, pain free! My last surgery I remembered a lot and woke up a few times during the surgery.

This surgery was a revision of the last one because I had an obstruction on the right side making it very difficult to breathe, especially at night. Also to shave down the bumps left on the bridge of my nose from the last surgery also. So far everything looks good and I can breathe!!! I have no packing or splints this time, no bruising, and no pain chewing like the last time either.

The worst part this time was the ear cartilage they took for the graft in my nose, I know gross! I don't even like to think about it and my ear does hurt. But overall, it's not that bad. I had a follow-up appointment today and all looks well. I even took a shower after that, and had a great nap :)

Maybe tomorrow I will post my progression pics! They're kinda scary though, just warning ya!
