Yep, after 3 excrutiating breaks (including a friend breaking it back on one of the occasions), a deviated septum, and problems with the ole' sinuses, it is my time to get a nose job. Next tuesday to be exact with the date, so all whom would like to get me presents....I'm still in need of a roof rack. HA! Just joking.
Much love!

One of those 'occasions'?????? Dang girl! Post before and after photos, I want mine done too, but mine was just a boring car accident, I may change the story for grins though....

what the heck do you do that you break your face 3 times?!?!?
Good Luck!

You goin' for the little, turn-up, pug number, or the thin, Nordic schnoz? Just don't get the Sarah Jessica Parker, or the whats-her-name Michele Geller

See if they have a Jimmy Durante left in stock...
Guaranteed to get ya noticed everywhere you go.

Snowboarding and mountain biking. I need to try to be a little more careful.
I will post pics....it just may be a while as the healing is kinda long and drawn out.

Gotta love a woman whose not afraid to get out there and tear it (and apparently herself) up on a board or a mountain bike. SWEET!!
You should come to Moab during the ZuZoo for a little mountain biking. I plan on getting some two wheeled miles in, and I think Billy (Tri) is up for it too.
Let us know what kind of presents to send; other than the roof rack. How about one of those face guards like the guys in the NBA wear?

Here's a present we can get you:

Good luck with the operation. Never been through it myself but my twin bro's wife had it done. From what I can remember, the recovery isn't too bad. Fingers crossed & prayers sent.
What's going on with this family lately. VX owners are spending more time in hospital & recovery than they do driving their beloved toys.

Damn, Schnoz!It sounds like you have all the right connections to get the job done though. Is it going to be an in-house job?

I'm back!
DEAR GOD.....NEVER EVER EVER decide to do this. EVER. Surgery wasn't bad, recovery-awful, taking the splints out yesterday-PAINFUL!
My doctor was awesome, one of the best in the state, totally nice and did a FANTASTIC JOB!.....but it's a pretty rough recovery patch. Had to sleep sitting up for a week, can't use your nose to breath-was short of breath quite a few times while eating or talking. I'm not a mouth breather, but thats how ya have to do it for a while. Ugh. You take your nose for granted, believe me! Couldn't see for 2 1/2 days as they put 'stuff' in your eyes. Basically 3 out of my 5 senses...GONE for some time. Now the splint is off and the enormous stents they left up in there were removed yesterday and OWWW! Felt like he was pulling out my brains through my sinues and down and out my nostrils. He was not my friend yesterday! Still having swelling, but looks amazing. Cried a bit last night though as seeing myself for the first time a little different is a huge shocker. Would I do it again....not if the recovery were the same. But maybe....as I feel real pretty!
