Well I can still breath plugging my nose and clenching, but its a b*tch. Did you have any type of nasal spray given to you? Most people say the spray really helps keep the nose clear. I wish Could bring and oxygen tank home with me lol
I use Otrivin. They tell you not to use it after nose surgery but I needed to sleep so badly that by day 3 I didn't care!! If I can't breathe through my nose I literally cannot sleep at all. The congestion with the original rhino was much worse than the revision, I think because the revision was just tip work. The inside of my nose is super irritated right now though because I'm 8 days post op and still have a bunch of stitches that I'm convinced are preventing proper healing
Saline sprays also work well, helps clean and clear the nose and dissolve dried gunk and yeuch. I'm using one right now 3x a day. You need to buy a few though because they don't last that long
Why are you getting wired? I thought most people got bands these days?
Also - if you have a sensitive skin, ask to clean your own face. My last surgery they used this medical soap all over my face and I had a horribly allergic reaction to it that took a week to get better
Get a cooling gel pack if you haven't already. Ice to hard and too wet and too cold and generally not practical at all
Don't look in the mirror for at least a week - seriously. You're going to look like a domestic violence victim. Just hermit yourself with books and DVDs and at home skincare s**t or whatever you want to do to keep yourself occupied. As soon as you feel well enough, start talking walks (at night if you want to hide, speaking of which it's time for mine now that the temperature is below 35 degrees)
