After surgery was over!
 
The first after photo -
Here is the first photo, as I was still coming out of the general anesthesia. God...IV meds are sooo good! Thanks Dr. Greenwood!
My nurse at my side -
So I have the ice going and trying to just relax. Luckily I was in NO pain and just felt like I had taken a good long nap, even though it was only 2 hours!
Relaxing at home -
So I arrived home ok. I was told to sleep, but that was not gonna happen! I wanted to be up and walk around. But of course I had two very strict people that told me NO! Guess they know whats best!
 
  The day after....  
 
The swelling has set in -
So this is 24 hours after the surgery. I was asked to come into Dr.Lev's office the day after the surgery to remove the nasal bandages. Luckily Dr. Lev knows his stuff and put alot of vaseline on the strips so they would come out slowly. IT DIDNT EVEN HURT. I heard these horror stories where I needed to trim my nose hairs because they may be pulled out. Talk about a waxing gone bad. Thank god Dr. Lev has so much experience that he already knows, and it was pain free!
Back at the house -
So we get back to the house and I see my nose inside...NASTY! Don't look. Just let it heal on its own. I was told to take pain medication, but I didn't really need it. I wasn't really in any pain. I took it just to take away some inflammation.
Sopa Azteca from Fogoncito! -
Its a must! Its a perfect blend of a tortilla soup with tortilla chip slivers and cheese on the side. Thank god for delivery! I was starving, but couldnt eat whole foods yet.
