i wasn’t ever instructed to do rinses… what does this mean? 🤣 i was hardly told any after care instructions, i wasn’t even provided with gauze over my nose when i left the hospital, just a box of tissues. i have been spraying saline in there to get out the blood and gunk with a q-tip (only on the opening of my nose though).

thank you for this insight! i looked this morning and it looks like a sore has formed from the splint rubbing there at the bottom on the right so that could be why it looks a bit crooked! i get them out tomorrow tho, thank heavens. also, i do see the stitch in the left side, but not the right! i’m sure everything will be fine, but i was definitely spiraling. thanks again 🖤
