On June 17th Jesse had to get some polyps removed from his nose and it was quite the adventure!
He is not a fan of needles so the doctor prescribed him some Valium to take the night before and an hour before the surgery. When he was on it he was very loopy and could barely walk straight. He fell asleep in the pre-op room and made jokes about Justin Bieber.
His surgery was about 2 and half hours long and went very well. The trouble happened after. Because the Valium impacted him so much he had a hard time waking up out of anesthesia. It took him almost 3 hours, they even had to call the anesthesiologist from home so he could help them wake Jesse up. He was very tired and just wanted to sleep but he had to get his oxygen levels up so that he could go home. Eventually I bossed him into breathing enough and we got home and he crashed. Angie made us some delicious soup, but all Jesse ate was a frosty from Wendy's. I wish I could have posted a funny video of Jesse waking up but it was scary listening to his heart rate move up and down and him just wanting to be home.
Now that we are home and he is on pain meds he is getting pretty funny. He is very disoriented and keeps talking about who he would draft in the NBA draft. Hopefully he continues to improve so we can get back to normal and have some fun!
