I'm healing and I realize that, so my nasal passages get plugged with mucus and blood (gross I know). There is still debris in them and I'm not allowed to blow my nose yet. I drink about 5 cups of hot tea a day, take a hot showers, and keep my house humid (I live in Colorado aka no humidity) to keep my passages open.
My bruising is gone! My swelling decreases little by little every day. The tip of my nose is still sensitive and it tingles when I touch it. Also, since my nose was re-broken, the bridge is sore. I can't wear sunglasses or glasses yet but that's okay. Sometimes I instinctively try to wrinkle my nose (at a weird smell or whatever) and it's pretty painful. I have some sinus pressure and headaches but that can usually be treated with aspirin.
The left side is a little more swollen than the right but it's going down to the normal size. You can see the definition of my nostrils coming back and the rest of my face looks normal. Look how straight it is!!! I look in the mirror a lot (makes me feel vain) but I can't believe how good it looks and how I can breathe!
