Current mood:  hot
Since Thursday, I've done a whole lot of nothing. I was telling Jerry today that I actually got excited to go to HEB last night! I'm a sad, pitiful man. Very sad.
My septoplasty was successful. If you read my bulletin, you know that they gave me some drugs to chill me out and they REALLY chilled me out...
It was weird. They gave me this stuff through my I.V. that was in my hand and once it started going into my arm...I could literally feel this stuff working its way through my system because it was really cold.
Once the "happy juice" hit my brain...it was party time! Actually I got to enjoy it for about 78 seconds because then the next thing I knew, I was waking up in the recovery room.
My nurse, Kim, in the recovery room was amazingly nice. When I was snapping out of my drug coma, she had such a reassuring smile and that was nice to wake up to after waking up from surgery.
What she told me was that most patients that have this procedure done, are normally in way worse shape than I was and she was surprised to see that I wasn't in heaps of pain and bleeding. My secret to that was the fact I had over a 100 awesome friends and family praying for me...thank you guys.
So, really all I've been doing is going to bed at 4am and sleeping on the couch. Fun!!!
Oh...the other thing I've tried to do, unsuccessfully, is to avoid hitting my nose on things.
In my 35 years, I've never had so many random things hit my nose since Thursday.
Yesterday I was brushing my teeth and when I squirt the toothpaste on my toothbrush, somehow a glob of toothpaste wound up in my eye. Of course it burned and I reacted and covered my eye with my hand...hitting my nose.
Another time, after praying with little Dave at night...he kissed my fuzzy head goodnight, and then he leaned the side of his head in for me to kiss his cheek and he did it too fast and hit my nose again.
Nice. Good times.
Since Thursday, I've been laying around monitoring the swelling of my nose. Today, I look pretty human. I get these plastic rods taken out tomorrow and I plan to make it back to KSR!!
We're gonna switch it up tomorrow night and do something a little different. Every now and then, it's cool to strip all the bells and whistles back and just worship and reflect on God.
Anyway, thank you to everyone that texted or myspaced me over the past week. It's nice to be loved and it's really cool to love you guys back.
You all are an amazing bunch of people.
Much love... Dave
