Justin Surgery

Justin went in for surgery on this Friday the 13th :)  He had Septoplasty, Turbinate resection and nasal vestibula.  We are not real sure how he was even breathing through his left side.  Justin and I had to be at the surgery center at 7:00 so Jonah got Seth and Sophia to the bus stop for school.  The surgery was scheduled for 8:00 and lasted a couple of hours.  I finally got to go back as he was awake.  He looked like he was hurting but that did not stop him from thinking he was going to start working when he got home.  I think the nurse thought he was crazy!  I told her that I would not allow him to work seeing as how he was coming off of anesthesia and was on narcotics :)  He also told the nurse he would be going into work the next day... she said he needed to take that up with his doctor.

We finally got to come home around 1:00 and I got him in bed and he asked for his laptop.  I told him I was going to pick up his prescriptions and not to work until I got home... I got home 20 min. later and he was out like a light!  He slept for 3 hours.  

Needless to say, he stayed home all week because if he got up his nose would start bleeding.  We had to flush it 2-3 times a day with a solution and in between that he had to snort saline to keep it from drying out and Afrin to stop the bleeding.  

We are hoping that this fixes his snoring problem but it has not so far... I am just thankful that he can breath better.
