I think the most discomfort felt was pressure between the bridge of my nose and the splints digging into my nose. Now... the reason why I felt a bit more discomfort is because I tried going without the painkillers today. After a few hours, I caved in and took the required dosage and fell asleep.
My swelling and bruising has significantly decreased. This was all thanks to the bags of ice or peas I kept over my eyes and gently above the bridge of my nose. I've continuously been taking Arnica and Bromelain, so I think that helped as well.
I think the greatest part of today was my shower. It's amazing what a short, warm shower can do. As for my hair; I wet my hair by cupping some water from the sink, poured some soap into a small hand towel, and began to rub it in. Then I rinsed out the soap by cupping water again and using a damp towel. Wasn't too concerned about drying my hair, as the the icebag would make it damp again anyway. I then used baby wiped to clean my face and some Q-tips soaked in saline solution to clean around my nostrils and mustache.
All in all, not a bad day.
NOTE: Ice cream and Gatorade (consumed separately, because that would be gross to have them together) are a great way to keep hydrated, while keeping your throat, mouth, and lips moist.
