Plastic Surgery

Today was a three hour plastic surgery round robin for the cancer removal repair. Involved were a course of needles up the nose and upon the nose to numb and already open wound (down to the cartilege) followed by an incision from the nostril all the way up the side of the bridge to near the brow (closer to where you a pair of glasses rest) for the repair. Swelling is monstrous. Can't wear glasses. Hard to keep ice on the side of your face like that when she is falling asleep all the time.

Can expect bleeding from the nose... possible necrosis of the skin... have to call the doctor if any bleeding comes through the bandage. She will be sleeping in the chair. I shan't be sleeping.
