The first photo is from the first day, and the second and third photos are from today, 7 days later. I
'm going to tell you what I felt..!
Before entering the operating room - It was summer, but it was very cold due to the air conditioning. Even if I cover myself with a blanket, my hands and feet are shaking and I feel even colder. While taking the electrocardiogram, taking the antibiotic injection, and taking the drug test, the top of my foot was in so much pain. And the anesthesia didn't work well, so I was very dizzy.
After the surgery on the same day - the surgery took 3 hours, and I don't remember how I got to the recovery room. Even after recovery, I was dizzy and returned home in my parents' car. After the anesthesia, I was in so much pain.
Day 2 - There was no swelling on the first day after surgery, but when I woke up on the second day, there was a bruise on my eyelid in the morning. I definitely had nose surgery, but I felt dizzy, my eyes started to hurt, and my nose started to tingle. On the first day, I only ate porridge, but on the second day, I ate sliced steak.
Day 3 - The swelling was very bad on the 2nd day, but on the 3rd day, it got worse and the pain was really painful. It was very painful at this time. And I removed the cotton the next day, so I only breathe through my mouth when I sleep, so my mouth is all cracked. It's so uncomfortable.
Day 4 - It's hell until the morning, and I just wait for the day to remove the cotton. But since I had a 5 o'clock reservation, it was still painful in the morning, so I went to the hospital to treat the swelling and remove the cotton, but it really hurt when they removed the cotton... haha Was it just me... Anyway, removing the cotton was absolute heaven.
Day 5 - Even after removing the cotton, my lips and above the lips were still sore. I kept applying lip balm and my skin started to feel really tight from then on. Even after washing my face, the splint tape made it sticky and I was annoyed. Still, I was grateful to sleep without the cotton, so I just lived with it.
Day 6 - I was so stuffy that I went outside that day. After removing the cotton, I didn't know the air in the world was this cold. I was so bored until the morning and couldn't sleep in the afternoon... haha. It was a day that didn't pass by. From this point on, the pain started to gradually disappear. The swelling was still there.
Day 7 (same day) - I finally got the stitches removed in the morning. But it really hurt when removing the stitches, but it only took 1-2 minutes? So it seems okay. It was a real pleasure when I took the splint off. Of course, it hurts. Still, I was so glad that I could no longer see the sticky tape. The nurse did the cleansing, but even after doing it, there was still tape stickiness on my face. The
current condition is satisfactory except for the sticky tape. The pain right now is just a little bit when I laugh, but it's okay if I stay still!!
