So sleeping last night semi-sucked. Once I found a decent sleeping position, I got a good four hours' worth, but at the expense of drainage that required me to expectorate bloody mucous.
Having the foresight that this would happen, the doctor prescribed me an anti-nausea medication. However, I find taking it makes me nauseous. On what planet does that make any sense?
I waited for Nick to get up before changing my gauze. Prior to the switch, I snapped a shot. The pic on the left was taken 12/21/13, the afternoon of my cousin's wedding. I still don't see much difference, public presentability aside. My nostrils may be slightly swollen near the top going near my eyes. I applied Bacitracin to the entrance of my nostrils before putting on a fresh trifold of sterile gauze.
My nose burns now; the good hospital drugs are gone from my system, so the sensations are more intense: nasal passages burn, splints afford me some breathing capability but not much, nose is stuffy and full of treasure, but I cannot blow it. I'm sipping ice water and letting a throat relief pop melt in my mouth. The package boasts great-tasting flavors, but all I can taste now is "indiscernible sweet."
