kain Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 is it a room 1115? at least i remembered to sign out XD good luck i read that fevers are common after surgery. you got unlucky with the needles though. they only had to stick me once. if you ask a nurse for eyedrops, they will bring a plastic syringe no needle) with saline solution. you can ask them to leave the syringe with you so that you can use it whenever your eyes get dry, otherwise they will take it and you will have to ask again if your eyes get dry. also, they give you a 1.8 litre bottle of water. you should drink at least one full bottle everyday. i remember the first time i took a peek at my nose. there was a wire sticking out of my nose on the bridge and the tape left sticky stuff on my nose that made it rly shiny which made all the imperfections look 10x worse. and it was still rly swollen and i had gauze inside my nose, which made my nose look wider, especially the nostrils. don't look at your nose until at least a week later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kain Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 my rib hurt a bit less after they removed the drain. i think the drain tube was poking me inside the incision site and made it hurt more whenever i moved. my ear never hurt. i was kinda surprised by that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddelicious Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 hi all another silent follower ive just booked my flight to seoul on 9 july so was wondering whether anyone was going around the same time and wanted to buddy up? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hher Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 thank you. they attach a drain to your rib to suck out the fluid build up. I hate this thing. but I guess it's good. My face is extremely swollen now after getting my nose clean. The DR. push so hard on my nose tears were coming out. Why do they do that? I was surprise he pushed down on my nose and squeeze it. OKay kind of tire and not getting any sleep. I've been taking 10-15 minutes nap here and there because I can't breathe. Thanks everyone for the encouragement. JoAnn came to tell me that Milkyway is going to be my roommate tonight. That's good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbgurly Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Yes, Dr Lee has to push out all the blood and liquid in your nose after the surgery to prevent it from clotting inside. He pushes it really hard to adhere the rib to stay in place. DId you feel warm liquid flowing down your nose when he did that ? I saw my residue on the cotton pad and it is gruesome.

omom-momo Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Jesse, I'm thinking the exact same way! I've come so far with this nose and I've had friends envying it too but... but when I think about how i'll be able to breathe properly and ummmm the final outcome of how good my nose is (supposed) to look I'm not so indecisive?? Ok, those points actually did nothing for my indecisiveness and i don't think i'm making any sense anymore lol Hher, how are you feeling? Milkyway, how was the surgery??!! I hope there weren't any complications and that you're resting well with HHer Wish you two a smooth recovery, can't wait for the reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulpy Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 im definitely going to VIP but im just not sure when. My initial plan was to go in August. But its summer there and I dont like hot weather. Now early September. But someone told me its still hot during that time of the year. Damn. Are you getting rhino and paranasal as well?Have you confirm with JoAnn ? Nway you mentioned that you read about makemeheal.com product over and over. Would you know that we are allowed to take the products together with the antibiotics/medicines from our doctor? Reading the instructions online...its a NO NO. But if anybody could confirm, it will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
