Nose Surgery or Nose Job (as some may call it)


Well before I tell you what happened I better tell you HOW it happened and came to be. Back in 1st grade I broke my nose. We went to the doctor and he said that because it didn't bleed, I didn't break it. Well it was pretty obvious that I did. You could tell in my school pictures. Anyway...last October, in cheer, me and one of my cheer team members hit heads when we caught our flier. Her tooth cut sliced part of her lip and hit my nose. Well after that I had trouble breathing through it. We went in to the doctor and they took x-rays and said that I HAD in fact broken my nose. He gave me some medician to help me so that I could breath. Lets just say...it worked for a bit but it wouldn't last long.
So the doctor sent me over to an ear nose and throat specilist in Idaho Falls. The doctor that I went to said that my seineses were all messed up and bent and what not. He said that he could do surgery and if I wanted he could fix the lump, I guess you could call it, in my nose but cutting some slits in to it. Well, I always wanted to get it fixed after it happened, and mom knew that and so we said yes, we want you to fix it too.
Surgery was then scedualed to happen two days before Thanksgiving. I went in for surgery at 6:30 in the morning. Got preped and went into surgery. While I was still out of it, the doctor told my parents that it was actually worse then he thought it was going to be, but he still was able to fix it.
When I went back to school, they started calling my "MJ" if you get what I am saying. Thats where the term Barbie came into play along with Nose job. Haha it becomes normal after awhile to answer to Barbie. But I really don't care, AT LEAST I CAN BREATHE!! Plus I love my nose. To me it looks different but to others it may not.
Anyway...here are some pictures the day I got out of surgery.


Haha ok, no laughing at Mr. Teady Bear. There was a nurse at the doctors office and while I was waiting to go in for surgery she gave it to me. She said that I might be too old for it but she thought I might like to have a friend in surgery with me.
