DUDE! I bet you woke up during surgery, at least partially. That is crazy! Best of luck to ya. It is maddening trying to sleep with your nose 100% plugged up. Last time my beak got broke (I thought I posted this before but I guess I did not) My coach got 4-5 wooden q-tips in each hand for cuts in boxing. Had a camp mate hold my head still, stuck each bundle of sticks up my nose and straightened it manually without pain killers. I think I went into light shock but it saved me a lot of $$$$ from going to the ENT and having it stinted. the pic is straight on and cannot really be appreciated without the whole thing. I let it heal like that, it is not straight but not bad either and as long as I am moving I can breathe through it a little bit. At night when I sleep is when I use afrin. Never during the day. I do not care how it looks. I wear a face saver head gear now when sparring, the young fellas make fun of me and call it a space helmet but I do not care. If I get the better of them I ask them if it feels bad to have been gotten over by an old moon man. Rarely happens though.
When those stints come out, you will feel that cool air go up your nose and you will feel supercharged until it gets plugged up with bloody boogers and such. When the swelling is done and the nose is clear it is a wonderful thing
Cheers bro! bro.
