Nose Surgery Reviews

10th day after osteotomy + jaw surgery... is it dawn now? -ㅁ-

I arrived at the hospital around 9:50 a.m. Waited while getting IV fluids, and at 3 p.m. I was lying on the operating table. When I woke up, was it four o’clock.. or five o’clock.. I always fail to remember that part..-ㅁ- But it hurt so much that I just cried.. I don’t think it was general anesthesia; it felt like they just put me to sleep, but whew.. Once I woke up, it hurt a lot, so I suddenly got really sad and cried a ton. Thanks to that, the nurses had a hard time comforting me.. After a while, when I was lying in the recovery room and finally gathered myself, I had a drainage hose on (right side only), a pain pump, and IV fluids too..... As for the facial changes.. they pressed the osteotomy area again and I could see the shape had improved, and I was startled to see the open rhinoplasty area sewn up again. The inside of my mouth was much better. They said the nose wound had opened a little, so they stitched it again.. maybe because I washed my face and showered too hard.. or because I was making big facial expressions.. I need to be careful. They stressed that the injection around the jaw wound tissue makes it weaker against inflammation, so I absolutely have to take and get the antibiotics. Originally they said they wouldn’t discharge me that day, but I insisted, so I came home at 9 p.m. after the shot. Since it’s very close, with the drainage hose and pain pump on, wearing a hat and a mask covering about one-third of my face, I walked home while listening to Chopin’s Nocturnes.. People in the middle of Gangnam kept staring at me, but now.. I don’t really feel embarrassed or avoid their eyes anymore. I just came home thinking, ah, the night air is nice~ On the way home, before getting stitched up again yesterday, I even bought a cactus pot, forgetting all my anxious feelings. Now I only have 20 more days to go with the cast.. so nice.. Well, I’m still scared about how many more times they’ll press it down hard in the middle..
