Rhinoplasty

[Ascinder]

Here's a present we can get you:

Good luck with the operation. Never been through it myself but my twin bro's wife had it done. From what I can remember, the recovery isn't too bad. Fingers crossed & prayers sent.

What's going on with this family lately. VX owners are spending more time in hospital & recovery than they do driving their beloved toys.

Damn, Schnoz! It sounds like you have all the right connections to get the job done though. Is it going to be an in-house job?

Ah crap, you're saying there are two of you out there?!

Scarey thought - ain't it? Fraternal tho. Opposite as night & day ... he's tall, good looking ...

I'm back!

DEAR GOD.....NEVER EVER EVER decide to do this. EVER. Surgery wasn't bad, recovery-awful, taking the splints out yesterday-PAINFUL!

My doctor was awesome, one of the best in the state, totally nice and did a FANTASTIC JOB!.....but it's a pretty rough recovery patch. Had to sleep sitting up for a week, can't use your nose to breath-was short of breath quite a few times while eating or talking. I'm not a mouth breather, but thats how ya have to do it for a while. Ugh. You take your nose for granted, believe me! Couldn't see for 2 1/2 days as they put 'stuff' in your eyes. Basically 3 out of my 5 senses...GONE for some time. Now the splint is off and the enormous stents they left up in there were removed yesterday and OWWW! Felt like he was pulling out my brains through my sinues and down and out my nostrils. He was not my friend yesterday! Still having swelling, but looks amazing. Cried a bit last night though as seeing myself for the first time a little different is a huge shocker. Would I do it again....not if the recovery were the same. But maybe....as I feel real pretty!

PICS!!! Glad you are alright. Got the new Lexus to match your new nose yet?

VX Chic,
Glad you doing better. I was wondering how that went.

Sooooooooo are you coming to Moab to show off your new nose. It's only a hop, skip, and a jump from where you are. Come out for one day...what do ya say?
Peace.
