The Best is Yet to Come

I’m burning I’m burning I’m burning……

**** my nose.

This hurts. My sinuses burn right now - first time since my surgery that I’ve felt like this.

I feel like I got punched in the face and that my nose is the size of a damn football. Sooooo not cool.

My recovery has been pretty smooth for the most part, except some big ol’ nasty gooey blood/snotwad came out of my nose yesterday and it’s like the floodgates were opened because there’s only been more of the same since then. I’ve had more glop coming out of my head today than I did the day of my procedure. It’s pretty nasty.

Still eating mushy food since chewing is not exactly something I should be doing right now. I really miss meat.

Can’t bend or lift anything yet….so that sucks.

The only nice part is the company I’ve had since Wednesday. My parents came down on Wednesday to take me for the surgery and stayed with me overnight, then a friend came over Thursday and fixed the closet shelf that fell (I’d normally fix it myself, but can’t lift), one of my best girlfriends came down on Friday and stayed overnight and took me shopping in the morning for a new bed that my mom decided to buy me and I went to lunch yesterday with another friend. I’ve been quite the social butterfly, LOL.

Post-op and bed delivery are on Thursday, so I’m only working a half day. Hopefully the doc will get the rest of the crud out of my nose that’s around the stitches and incision and tell me that all is going well.

In the meantime, it’s mushy food, antibiotics and Vicodin for me.
