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!

Surgery

My surgery went very well. Thanks to everyone who prayed! I'm hoping to give a better update tomorrow. Too many drugs today :)

Surgery

Tomorrow I am going for my second nose surgery! My nose has a big history and someday I might tell the whole story and even post some progression pictures. For now, I ask for prayer. I'm scheduled for 9am. My mother in law is here to watch the kids tomorrow, Kale has off the next 3 days, and my mom and sister are coming Thursday night to help out too.

Things to pray for:
Dr. Fedok, good anesthesia, no complications, no nausea, little to no pain, able to chew food afterwards, able to breathe a little through my nose the first week following, and care of my children.
Thanks, I'll keep you posted :)
