Yes, don't I look fantastic? This was taken a couple hours after my surgery. Luckily all of that is now off of my face and I can wear my glasses again too. YAY! Thank you everyone for all of your prayers and kind words! I just got the last of the packing out of my nose today and also the stints have been removed. All I can say is *OUCH*!!! The doctor told me that it didn't hurt, but he was sadly mistaken. It took all of my energy and might to not cry when he pulled the first one out. He asked if I wanted to take a break before he pulled out the second one. I said, "No. I don't want you to pull it out at all". He wasn't sure how to respond to that one. Now, don't get me wrong. I do have a pretty high pain tolerance. I was prescribed the "good" pain killers for after the surgery, but stuck with good ol' Tylenol. It wasn't that bad! The same doctor told me that he gives me the gold star award because no one in his practice has ever not taken the good drugs. Wish I had had them today though... :) Now hopefully my face will be back to normal in the next couple of days. I'm excited to get back to holding my kiddos and kissing their faces. I miss that!
This was taken last night before everything else was taken out. Pretty, huh?

Wow- that looks pretty scary! I'm out of the loop- what happened??
Awwww :( I am so so sorry you've had to go through this, but so glad that you're through the worst parts (right???). I've been praying for you lots and I can't wait till we can hang out again! I miss you (and Luke - that was so cute that he wanted to see me. He is such a sweetie!). See you soon I hope!
Poor sicky...can you breathe yet?
I am over the worst of it for sure! Other than my nose being a little sore I'm back to normal. Well, I can't lift anything or bend over either, but you know.
Lisa- I had sinus surgery where they straightened my septum, removed a polyp and scraped my sinus. It was lots of fun :/
I was SO careful not to take any pictures of you when I took them of the kids and here you POST them yourself!!! Way to go, girl!-Mom
Oh Katie!!! I didn't realize it was that bad! WOW!
Well, you look great now. :)
