The joys of a fake nose, take two!

I went to see the plastic surgeon again today. He has scheduled my surgery for August 11th. He said that he will give me some Valium or Xanax to take before I come in and that he will also give me something to help me sleep the night before. Once I get to the office he will inject the local anesthetic and then make an incision inside my nose. He'll go up past the tip of my nose to the dorsum and then he will use the rasp to take some of the bone off. I will have to wear the splint again, which I am not at all happy about but I kind of expected it. Hopefully it will be a pretty quick recovery and not too painful.
