/my mya experience day 1- rhino

So yesterday I had my surgery and everything went well (as far as I know, I wasn’t told otherwise) surgery staff at Mya were fantastic cant fault them whatsoever, as I came round from the anaesthetic, the staff was by my side comforting me, I kept on getting the restlessness feeling in my legs and arms, and one of the male nurses in my room at that time made a joke that I looked like I was doing the birdie song dance which made me laugh and put me at ease. The after care is a little bit slow but I wasn’t in pain so there was no need to call them in my room. You will probably feel more pain with the wadding up your nose but once that comes out you will feel fine. I’m getting little bit of bruising on top of my eyelids but no major bruising as of yet give it a few more days and it ill probably come out more. Sleeping up right is a pain in the bottom! I think I made my way down the pillow about 5 times last night but going to try another pillow and if that doesn’t work then I will invest in a v pillow. If you are going to the Fitzroy clinic I would advise you that if you are coming out of great Portland street train station to pop over to the Tesco express and pick yourself up some magazines and snacks they do a meal deal for £3 which is a sandwich drink and crisp, however Mya do provide you with tea and toast once you feel up to it. I’m still oozing a little bit but that’s normal I’m assuming, anything you need to know just ask and i’ll answer it the best I can xx

glad it all went ok 🙂 and youre feeling ok puts me more at ease for mine, im still petrified of not waking up from the aneastehtic though x

I’m feeling fine in myself, but treating myself to a lazy day today lol, I can feel that my eyelids are ever so slightly swollen but it isn’t affecting me, I keep on having the feeling that I want to sneeze but keep on stopping myself because I’m to scared lol. With the anaesthetic you have to think the sooner you go to sleep the sooner it will all be over, I know its easy for me to say because I haven’t got a fear but they really are great x

hiya. so nice to hear it went well. i just keep thinking i’ll be one of the unlucky few who gets a clot or ill work myself up so much that i’ll just end up giving myself a heart attack with all the stress! and i’m claustrophobic so with all that stuff in your nose did you like panic or owt?? :-/

Hi sherry,
No I didn’t panic at all, I was aware of the fact it was there but it didn’t bother me to much, i just sounded a bit bunged up. The only time I was a little bit nervous was when I was on the operating table but I don’t think it was nerves as such, I think it was more emotion then anything, because I couldn’t believe I was finally there having done, I did say to my friend I’m terrified that I ain’t going to wake up, but I think that’s the fear everyone has, but that passed as soon as I got into my room x

oh i really hope i dont panic when i come around. i dont want to accidently ruin whatever the surgeons does to my nose. i’ll just have to warn them before hand. yeh i think everyone goes through that. how are you feeling today?x

As soon as you come round you can here there voice and they tell you to keep still, I remember moving around a little bit but because I could answer vocally I just gave them a thumbs up to let them know that I heard them but I couldn’t respond in any other way, once they say me up I was laughing and talking like normal, I’m feeling a lot more swollen today but the oozing has eased off a lot so I’m hoping by tomorrow that will stop, but like anything I suppose it’s got to get worse for it to only get better, what day is it you’re having the surgery? X

Good to hear it went well! I’m worried as soon as I wake up I’m going to grab onto my nose and ruin the whole operation haha…thanks for sharing though its put me at ease for mine in 3 weeks! xx

my surgery is on the 21st of december.
and Laura thats my worry too!x

Oh wow so not long at all! That’ll fly round, mine felt like I only waited a few days after I had my consultation with the pc, it didn’t feel like I waited 6 weeks at all! I want to touch my nose more now then I did when it was done, but I’m refraining from touching it lol x

aw lol. i think id b like that too. the waiting for cast removal would be the only wait that id just find hard, i’m usually very patient but i can just imagine myself wanting a peak and poking at it.lol

I’m just worried about not waking up at all !!! lol hoping the next 3 weeks fly by so I have no worries left lol xx
