So I am looking good (not), basically I look like I am a beaten wife, or I fight in town centre pubs, both are true, but on this occasion its been inflicted by a surgeon!
So they wheeled me down to the anaesthetic room, where they tried to put the cannula in my left hand, struggled to find a vein and whilst the anaesthetic made me drowsy didnt knock me out, so they tried my right hand, and nothing happened, so they gave me gas! My veins are hard to find it seems. When I woke I had a panic attack as I couldnt breath, but with padding in your nose and a cast on it, its not surprising. I then found they had inserted the cannula onto the inside of my left wrist, which was quite sore. I actually think that was the worst part of it.
Not being able to breathe through your nose is very bizarre, and I spent last night in very fitful dozing waking every 10 minutes or so needing water as my mouth and throat were so dry.
So the outcome is, they have done a sinus wash out, straightened my septum, and broken the bridge of my nose to move it closer together as it seemed to have gotten wider over the last couple of years and he also did some tip work to fit in with the bridge being narrowed too, though I am assured it will be very subtle and no different to my old nose, just a bit slimmer on the bridge. Might actually be able to get glasses to fit now! Hurrah.
Will get my cast off in a week, so keep you updated in the meantime.
