Hey, I am back. I went back to BT today and finally had my nose cotton removed. It was OK, slight pain and burning sensation when it was removed but only lasted for few seconds. It felt so good to breath through my nose again.
I only had the cotton in for 2 days; didn't think to much at first but I kept waking up during sleep, eating wasn't easy (I wasn't able to taste anything). I feel better and alive
Surgery area as well as the incision for the rib cartilage was checked and cleaned. Everything looked all good Dr. Lee said.
Though I went through this twice before, but having to go through the recovering third time is tiring; applying ointment, taping, having the stitch removed waiting for the swelling to go down, etc. etc. etc..
They told me to come back after 5 more days for sttich removal. Being able to breath is so thankful and grateful all over again!
I'm heading over for lunch but first stopping over at Starbucks for a nice cool drink or water since it's next door to BT. I'll post my photos again when I get the cast off
