Nate's Turn

My sweet husband, he really had no idea what was ahead of him! Nate had surgery on his nose Friday. He had a number of things they fixed, the big one was to repair his deviated septum, and as his surgeon said, what looked like "multiple fractures". I can only imagine how Nate was as a child, and how he went about getting these multiple fractures. Let me just preface this with Nate has never had surgery, stitches, or has never really experienced any significant amount of pain. As we were waiting for his surgery, Nate was making plans with all of his buddies for the weekend, like having breakfast Saturday morning, and going to our Ward Christmas Party Saturday night. I was silently laughing in the corner knowing he was up in the night with his expectations! But as we all know Nate is the eternal optimist.

Well...I don't really need to say, we missed breakfast! The poor guy finally woke up from his anesthesia around 6pm, and he was in a lot of pain. The pain meds weren't working for him which led to several other problems. They ended up admitting him for the night while they were able to get him feeling a little better . We are so happy we were able to bring him home today, our house feels very empty without him. We love you Nate!!!!
