Well, my surgery is done & yesterday I sat around and did nothing while I recovered for a day. I watched a lot of TV, painted my nails, put together wedding shower favors, and tried to avoid the mirror.
If I look in the mirror, I have a nice beige splint on my nose, but for the first time my nose does not hurt since my accident. 5 days and counting until I get it off. That is, hopefully...I am assuming here that in my 1 week visit, cute ENT/Plastic Surgeon doctor will remove it.
So, now that this is done, time to focus on the other things...have I told you how it always seems my timing is perfect? Again...I won't DARE take credit for anything with luck or timing...it's all luck & really a higher being.
But after playing phone tag...okay, not tag, just me calling ever week, Dr. Wonderful Dentist is supposed to be calling me back finally tonight. I spoke with his personal secretary yesterday and she called this morning to make sure I'd be home for his call later this evening. Looks like now that my nose is fixed, maybe we can figure out why the eldest's teeth are falling out.
On to this weekend...
There is one thing I'm really bummed about regarding the broken nose, but I'm trying really hard not to dwell on it. Because it's broken, I will not be able to run the Warrior Dash this weekend. This is the mud/obstacle/5K race I did on a whim in Michigan last year that propelled me into being brave and trying new things. Since I've picked up running this summer, I was really gearing up to see how much better I performed this year compared to last.
I'm still going to go, but being brave by walking around in public with my nose splint...and cheer on the teammates who are going to be all muddy. Last year, my cousin sat on the sidelines while I impersonated her in the race. This year I'll be sitting on the bench, while another friend is impersonating me. Hopefully this does not become a tradition for our, what hopefully is becoming, annual race.
