How My Nose Felt

This photo from Total Recall, with Arnold, illustrates how my nose felt when the doctor removed my dressing. The gauze, plus this inflatable plastic bladder, extended pretty deep into my schnozz, but when they came out, I felt a delicious sense of relief, similar, I'm sure, to what Arnold's character felt when he removed the Martian 'bug' from his honker in this sci-fi thriller from the 1980s.
