Open rhinoplasty with Dr Stefan Gonschior 5/12/11

Hey everyone My story so far…

As some of you may know i was meant to have my op on the 3rd but it got cancelled because the staff in fitzroy hospital were ill.I get a call a day before my op saying its cancelled and my op will be on monday at highgate and my admission time was 8:30 then i get another call this time my admission time is at 9:30 finally another call and its at 10:30 didn’t fuss about it too much because i thought i will have more time to sleep..So anyway a cab picked me which mya organised and the only reason they sent a cab because my op was cancelled so they don’t usually send a cab or anything…

So Im on my way to highgate with my sister listening to music feeling good! i thought i will be super nervous on this day but i was actually really really calm. So we arrived at the hospital around 10:16 waiting and waiting then a nurse came took me to my room asked me questions about my health, weight allergies bla bla bla… Got changed waiting for so damn long Dr G was running late, i was starting to get really impatient i literally wanted to go in and put the anesthetic on my self so i can get this over and done with lol. Dr g came into my room explained to me once again what he was going to do with my nose.. i thought i was gonna go to the theatre soon but naaa still waiting!

Anyway so around 3:15 i think not sure the nurse came i got out the door before her LOL i was thinking to my self ‘lets get this show on the road haha’! anyway i layed down i was asking questions to a male nurse saying ‘will i wake up during my surgery’ but he said no you wont but i was like ‘but what if i do’ i had that fear for some reason anyway he put a needle on my hand and boy it hurt,checked my blood pressure was fine after that i started to get a little nervous ! I do not remember anything after that as i was gone!

I Woke up around 6:05 with a blurry vision no pain nothing it was such a weird feeling you can talk but your body is like turned off. There was a nurse next to me talking to me i started to chat rubbish i was saying where my sister when am i going to see her on and on and i also remember thanking and praying to GOD that Im alive!!…So while chatting rubbish to my nurse they finally took me to my room,while going i felt super sick put My self on the bed feeling dizzy and weird. I felt really sick and i threw up it was blood but don’t let this scare you because you cant taste it or see it properly it was like water coming out.. i felt abit more better after that.. Dr g came to see me he was saying something to me but i don’t remember i only remember me trying to shake his hand saying thank you..

After a while my vision started to get much better my dad called saying he was coming. When my dad walked through the door for some reason i got so emotional and really excited i started to cry i was panicking my heart was beating so fast.. i don’t know why i felt like that but my dad held my hand saying calm down its okay but i was still crying..Because i got so panicky my nose started to bleed the nurse told me to calm down and breath so i tried to calm my self down …and i felt abit sick after i think its because i got upset ..

As time went by i started to feel better and really hungry i had soup and bread with butter my sister was feeding me i felt like a helpless baby lol . I felt much better when i ate then watched eastenders lol …

So around 9 i felt much more better got up started walking around feeling a bit like my self again nurse came to check my blood pressure was a little high so we was still waiting i was getting so bored i wanted to go home.

Finally the nurse came to take out that thing up your nose it felt weird when she took it out i started to breath just a little on the left side of my nose she taped me up so could no breath anymore. Around 10 something i was told i can go i was feeling better so got discharged from the hospital and was finally home i could not sleep but its normal i didn’t sleep till 5am or 6 am not sure felt super uncomfortable and upset because i could not sleep but anyway i finally fell alseep woke up fell asleep woke up again feeling a bit better now still really tired but Im okay..I forgot to mention my mouth got dry because we have to breath from our mouth kept drinking water now im drinking water 247..

Katie- my cast comes off next Tuesday! Can’t friggin wait!

Busybee- yeah 2nd day was bad, I’m staring to feel normal now! I still have a bit if pressure under the cast which is to be expected! Sleeping is tough for me, I naturally sleep on the side so I keep waking up and finding myself on my side so I have to shift myself back onto my back! Only have to do that for 7 – 10 days though so I’m about half way there! Xxx

Iv had my mum coming in and putting my head back straight again lol…. We’ll get there!!!! Xx
