2 weeks post op

Hi Guys,

Sorry it has taken so long.........................
Have had a wicked couple of weeks showing the new nose to everyone :)
Although I do have to keep looking in the mirror just to check that the bump hasnt grown back

Am really impressed that I have recovered so quickly

Am back to work now so kinda back to the norm and went out for a few well deserved beverages on Friday night.

Here are a few recent piccys :)

The Unvailing

FINALLY............................

Today I will finally get to see my new nose

Woke up bright and early all ready to go had to leave at 9am

Just enough time to tease my mother about her drunken antics lastnite
Feeling excited but really nervous and I'm not sure exactly what is under that Splint

Heres a couple of piccys this morning

Appointments at 10 so ofcourse we make it there by 1 second to 10 :)

Little did we know we would be waiting an HOUR.
Listening to some woman explain how just before leaving her husband she paid for a £4000 on his credit card........................BITCH

Any way finally up in the nurses room by this time im close to being sick im so scared.
Laid on the bed

And then she starts taking the splint off and Oh my God that hurt!!!!!!!!

And here is the finished picture!!!!!



This might sound soppy but the minuite I saw myself I started to cry, then looked over at my mum and she was crying and then the nurse started aswell. Tears of ahppiness may I add

Heres a couple of after piccy's but I cant smile properly yet at the skin above my upper lip is still quite tight.

Some people have been trying to comment but have said its not working so If you want to comment or ask any questions then send me an email at sophiegalyer@hotmail.com

Will update in a few days

Bye for now :) xxx

Day 7 (Friday)

Ok so tommorrow is the day.........................................

The splint is coming off and I will finally get to see my new nose :)

Here are the pics,
Bruises are almost gone not sure how bruised my nose will be tho:

I am off to my nans shortly as she wants to teach me how to make a lemon drizzle cake. hmmmmmmm this could be eventful

Oh and I can have a drink tonight yay!!!!!!!!

(ABIT LATER 2NITE)

Ok so even tho I can drink I decided that it would prob be best not to.

Made the Lemon Drizzle Cake and mum came home drunk and scoffed half of it, So any of her friends that are reading this if she says she hasnt cheated SHE LIES!!!!!!!! she had alcohol and cake!!!!! FAIL!

Want to go to bed but am very nervous/excited about the unvailing tomorrow.

Will put a picture on here 2moro of my new nose :)

Day 6 (Thursday)

Morning All,

Today I had a visit from one of my Besties Ami and her lil bubba Connor.

Now hes very cute but then the crying started and i remembered again why I swore to never have kids.... OMG the crying on and on and on lol. Although I am think it may have been my face that made him cry lol

Here I am today

Then went round a friends for a takeaway but I'm afraid no alcohol :(

Day 5 (Wednesday)

Today is my first proper day out.................... this should be fun

Here are the morning photo's looking better by the day :)

and here is the close up of my eyes

Went to see my nan (the one who i blame for the nose situation)
Asked how I looked and she said " arnt your legs getting fat"
Well thanks nan I really needed that confidence boost :)
Old people ay dont think about what they say, decided this would be a short visit!

So today is my 2 weeks of no smoking so decided I would treat my self so done a bit of Retail Therapy with the mothership.

Epsom was ..................... fun

Everyone that walked passed felt the need to stare but the kind of stare where they think you cant see them staring, had a bit of fun with that by staring the hell back!!! haha

Then i think mum wanted to hide me so took me to the cinema to see Toy Story 3 in 3D (i know childish but i dont care)

So here I am in my lovely 3D glasses

So get into the cinema sit down film starts and my health freak mum asks if I can hold her orange peels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of person goes to the cinema with an Orange!!??!!??
Film wasnt that good, bit sad actually but anyway
After all this activity I was knackered so it was home to bed for a kip

Thats all for today
Bye

Day 3 (Monday)

Have woken up today feeling alot better but once faced with my Nan she informs me that I infact look worse today................... Thanks Nan AGAIN!!!

Now as you can see I have pretty much let myself go am not allowed to have hot bath or shower so hair hasnt been washed since Friday morning (i know DISGUSTING!!!) And am not allowed to get the splint wet so have to be careful about washing my face too.

After lunch I decide it's time to sort my self out!!!

So in comes the dry shampoo loadsssss of it!!! And look I look like Sophie again!! YAY



Have started taking close up pictures of my eyes now as its quite funny to see the different colours every day.
Today is a very red day:

B-E-A-UTIFUL I know.

Oh and today was my first official outing!!!

I went to a Mcdonalds drive thru :) and once again nearly caused a few accidents where people in other cars had to double take when they looked at me. Nosey buggers!!

Nothing else to report today

Bye

Day 2 (Sunday)

Im blind................................................

Have woken up and opened my eyes well i thought I did but I cant see, here is the pic of me first thing in the morning

Dave has now said that I look like an Avatar!!! Cheers darlin nice to have your support!

Am being sent to my nan's today as my mum has her "posh friends" round. hahaha

Arrived at my nan's and the first thing she says is "oh my god you look dreadful" Thanks nan boost me up why dont you.

Now if you remember me telling you about my attrative ice eye packs, today I really need them as my eyes are killing me.

ME: Nan have you got some ice for me to put in my eye packs
NAN: Oh no I havent got any ice, give it here and I will see what I can do.

Once returned to me it turns out she had filled my eye packs with frozen vegetables!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So rattling around were  frozen bloody peas and carrots Nice!!!!!

Today is not a good day very painful so have pretty much tried to sleep most of the day,
Here's a few piccy's

Report back tomorrow!!!!

Day 1 (Saturday)

Only managed to get a few onlys sleep as I had the stupid drip thing coming out of my arm, So at 5.45 when I finally start to drift off the nurse tapping me on the arm to take my nasal packs out was not welcomed!!

So just to elaberate what exactly nasal packs are just picture 2 small tampax's. Yes I had tampax's up my nose very attractive but the feeling of relief once these were removed was lovely. I can breathe again!!! :)

Here is a pick of me that Sat morning

Looking a bit better but believe me it gets worse!!!

Waited for mum to come and get me and on the drive home had a lot of fun at traffic lights slowely turning my head to show my hideous face. Hahaha the look on these poor peoples faces was priceless.

Once back at my mums was sent straight to the sofa, so the rest of my day is spent pretty much around the sofa area!!

Now ofcourse its Saturday night so people will be going out partying NOT FUN watching people getting ready to go out when you yourself cant even have an alcoholic drink!!! So once my mum is all dolled up she wants a picture as she says i quote " take a picture cos I look better than you for once" Thanks mum so here it is



This is pretty much it for Saturday, I think it is the first Saturday in about 5 years that I have been in bed before 12!!

Post Op.............

I'm Awake............ I'm alive................

I have slight memories of people talking to me but apparantly I was on Morphine so I havent a clue what was actually happening around me but all I cared about was that i was alive.... I know it sounds sad but there!!!

While still pretty high Dave had called my sister and I have apparently babbled some junkie crap to her then fell asleep with the phone still in my hand.

Here is the pic of me once I have been wheeled back into my room still asleep

After a few hours kip I was woken up by the nurse I think to change the dressing on my nose. And that was it I was awake............ Watching tv having something to eat I felt strangley fine.

Mr Khan came back to let me know that the Op went well and I will be happy with my new nose.

There is not alot else to say about the Op day so will leave you with a few more piccys of my minging face lol

Oh I have to explain this one as this will come up again in a few days. It is an Ice face mask, Pretty simple ice cubes go in it and you use it to keep the swelling on your eyes down.

Bye Peeps xxxxxxxxx

Pre Op!!!!

Hi All,

I havent been able to update since the Op as I have been staying at my nans and she is not quite with the "internet times" yet. So I will be recapping what has been happening over the past 4 days.

Ok so I will start with the journey to the hospital Friday morning, the half an hour ride which felt like about 3 hours!!! with Dave keep saying "its gonna be ok" " i really wouldnt worry about it too much" " it will be over before you know it". All bloody right for him to say as he will not be taking the blows of Mr khan's (surgeon) bad mood. And can I just say for a Nose surgeon Mr Khan himself has the biggest hooter I have ever seen (yes it is even bigger than mine)

Any way so we arrive at the Hospital after the man who's knows where everything is gets lost!!!! Sorry Dave but your not that good!
Once at Reception am taken straight through to my room where I am given my fetching outfit pic is on the previous blog. And told to get changed. So have started getting undressed and then the Anaesthetist comes in (clothes go back on), he talks me through what he will be doing. He goes so I start getting undressed again, nurse comes in takes my blood pressure heart rate and temperature. This procedure then happens about 179 times during my one night in hospital, oh by the way clothes have gone back on! The nurse says that there is 2 people to go in for Ops before me so I am looking at going in at about 11.30 so that gives me 2 hours to calm myself down. nurse goes so the clothes start coming off again and Mr Khan comes barging in ( at this point the trousers are fully off and I just have the paper panties on NOT my most fashionable look I have to say.) Dressing gown comes to the rescue!! He tells me to hurry up and get ready (as if I havent been trying to) as he is ready for me now.
WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! NOW!?!?!?!?!?!?! so my cooling down time is no more im gonna be whisked off to surgery any time now AHHHHH.

Sitting in the room next to the Operating Theatre the nurse checked all my details again. Then unknowingly joked "just checking that you do wake up with a big pair of boobs" If you (like me) have been counting this is the 3rd time a Boob Job has been mentioned!!

Would like to be able to say that I was brave but I was a complete and utter WIMP!! Was walked into the Operating Theatre and layed on the table and at that point I realised that this was all a mistake and I didnt infact want this done at all but they didnt want to listen in the end I was being held down to have the anaesthetic, the nurse said Goodnight then it all went black.........................................

Ouch!!!!!!

Hi All,

Will not really be writing alot as am still not quite with it, but I thought u would all like to see the piccy's

Would like to say a big thanku to all the messages of support,

Love to all

Nosejob Eve

As promised here are my dreaded BEFORE photo's............ Bad huh!

I have just got down to my mums, stuffed my face cos as of 12pm I can no longer eat  :( Bad times.
The Op is 2moro so nerves are really setting in now, and sod's law I have a bunged up nose so I may not even be able to have it done.

This is just a quick post and will let you know tomorrow if all goes ahead

Bye

Hi Guys,

So its Monday.........4 days untill my Op and to tell the truth I am well and truly sh**ing myself. I have quit smokiong aswell which is probably making my nerves even worse!!
Apart from the above all is fine! :)

Have also started taking my Arnica tablets which are supposed to help with the bruising?!? Not really sure just doing as I have been told.

Had a slightly panicky weekend as I seem to keep thinking the worse, so as a treat I bought myself some new shoes ( and I can assure you they are nothing like the horrendous pair mother wore last week) Actually talking of mothers shoes I will be staying there after my Op and I will do my bit for the world and destroy them!!!! Anyway my new shoes, I have decided I am going to wear them on the Operating table wether the surgeon likes it or not!!!
While purchasing the shoes with Dave (the boyfriend) I also spotted a handbag and purse, now i know people say that men dont pick up hints but i dropped so many that I think it will be impossible for him to not realise. So I'm hoping that once I have woken after my Op that there infront of me will be a lovely shiney new handbag and purse!! I know FAT CHANCE but i can hope.

Have forgot my camera lead today to upload the Before pictures but will def do it 2moro. Promise :)

Adios Amigo's!!!
