Nose Job Post Op Questions..?

ok so i am almost 15 (in about 4 months) and i got my nose job yesterday. it was CLOSED rhinoplasty and i had a slightly deviated septum fixed and now im eating pineapples for swelling and drinking pineapple juice along with taking Arnica Montana pills for bruising and some antibiotics. so iits not too much medication, and my eyes are totalllllyyy puffed up. i look like an asian squirell, and i am far from asian haha! no offense intented to any asians by the way. and my friend is coming july 11th to visit me, which would be exacly 22 days form my surgery, so 3 weeks and 1 day…and i was wondering if by then, would it be okay for me to go out? Like, Six flags, and waterparks? Or swimming WITH actaully putting my head/face in the water? Or going deep in the water at the beach?? I would prefer answers from people who have gone through this, and by the way there is absolutely no packing in my nostrils, thank god. they’res just a cast and a piece of gauze taped under my nostrils, which the doctor reduced(my nostrils) and put dissolvable stitches in for. Btw, how well do disolvable stitches dissolve? and how long does it take for them too totally dissolve or not be felt at all?
ALSO– what should i do for swelling around my eyes? i dont have much bruising at all and i’ve already tried pineapples and and ice.
thank youu!!!

Questions about Traumatic Brain Injury

What constitutes a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

Traumatic Brain Injuries are usually the result of a blow or injury to the head. Though any TBI is a serious medical issue, some cases are more severe than others. A “mild” TBI can produce temporary loss of consciousness, change of mental state, or variations in mood or behavior. Severe cases can lead to extended periods of unconsciousness, severe mental health issues, and even death.

What causes TBI?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCICP), the leading causes of TBI are:

Falls (28%); Motor vehicle-traffic crashes (20%); Struck by/against events (19%); and Assaults (11%).

How do I recognize the symptoms of TBI?

The signs and symptoms of TBI may not be immediately apparent because of the complex nature of brain injuries. Symptoms may not appear for days or weeks after the injury. TBI patients may look completely normal, but have subtle or extreme changes in behavior or mental status.

If you or a loved one is experiencing the signs and symptoms listed by the CDC/NCICP, seek medical help immediately. In addition, if the event causing TBI could be the result of someone else’s negligence, schedule a consultation with a qualified injury attorney to see if you are eligible for compensation.

What are the long-term effects and costs of TBI?

Over the long run, TBI can affect any function of the brain, such as language, speech, movement, thinking, and emotions. These conditions may improve or worsen over time and may mean the patient requires assistance with daily tasks and functions.

Long-term medical care and daily assistance can be extremely expensive, especially when the TBI patient can no longer work to support her or himself. Nationwide, the costs for TBI patients total in the tens of billions of dollars. For this reason, it is important to contact a lawyer with experience in brain injury cases to recover damages to help pay for these long-term costs.

The financial pressures of caring for a TBI patient can be extremely difficult for his or her family. In addition, the psychological and behavioral impact of brain injuries can strain even the healthiest, caring relationships.
