Rhino...

PLASTY!!!

Let's just say David is being a great patient. I really thought it would be a little more stressful, don't get me wrong, it was and still is, but I thought it would be worse. I joke and tell him that he has had more plastic surgery than me... We went in at 6:30 yesterday morning and his surgery and recovery were over at 10:00. He did great in surgery, but had a set back during recovery because the anesthisa made him sick. The doctor said it was more severe than he thought from the xray and it was a good thing David did not put it off any longer. His deviated septum looked like the letter "W" and he had a lot of calcium built up along the sides from a previous break when he was younger. The doctor said that most of his patients have 5 stiches after surgery, but David has 18. Ouch!!!! His recovery will now be longer, about 2 weeks before he can do anything manual. We stayed in the hospital until 1 and have been home since. Besides his pain medicine, he has not taken anything else and really has been good.

You know when you are put under you always wander what you may say, well there is one comment worth blogging from David:

As we are leaving the valet at the hospital, the car in front of us was taking FOREVER and we could not get around. The lady (a little rounded and kind of hippy) driving was taking care of her patient and gets in on her side and out of David's mouth was:

Boy Allison, that is what you call some hips... All I could do was laugh.

A note about Anna, she is so caring with her Daddy. When we walked in the door she started crying and really cared about her dad. It was so sweet and at the same time so sad. All she wanted was her dad to pick her up, but he can't for 2 weeks. She just stands at the side of the couch and pats him and talks to him to cheer him up. It is amazing that a 16 month old can sympathize at such a young age.

BTW- David would not let me put any pictures on the blog... Boy, they would be great blackmail.
