My Nasal Surgery and Recovery

I had my surgery on November 10, 2009. It was miserable having the stints in my nose for a week after. Extremely painful because of their size and the fact that it is a foreign object placed in my body. So, what did the doctor take out? My doctor took out an air pocket, shaved down both my turbinates and fixed my deviated septum. Below I am posting some pictures, don't worry they aren't graphic!!!!

They are just pictures of me-I can tell a difference under my eyes and my nose. I am still in a lot of pain. It is supposed to take a month or so to completely heal. Once this happens I will feel so much better. Which will be nice considering the months upon months of nothing but pain.

This week makes the first week back at work since the surgery. It has been rough because I still can't blow my nose, there is a lot of drainage and if I have to sneeze, I have to do it with my mouth open. UGH. LOL.

Ok, so here are the pictures.
