The very next morning after surgery, Nathan woke up in tremendous pain. I think he was shocked at how bad he hurt. He popped some more pain pills and went back to sleep until it was time to get ready to go in to the doctor's office to get the drainage tube removed.We thought this would be a quick and easy appointment since the hospital scheduled it for us and told us when to be there, but NO. Apparently, someone at the doctor's office didn't write it down on the books, and he had to be worked in. Just perfect. So, Nathan had to sit with his open wound in a waiting room full of germs, amongst all the wide eyed stares, and in serious pain for much longer than expected. Not cool. I was beyond ticked.
The kids were out of school because of the recent flooding, and Nathan obviously couldn't drive since he could barely move his neck, so it was family affair. Quite enjoyable waiting an hour with kids in a tiny room.
Nathan said that it was only fair that I let him take a picture of me with all the flashes I had been blasting his eyes with lately. Ugh...Fine. After all of that wait time, the doctor finally came in for two minutes, TWO whole minutes! Ridiculous. Of course, the nurse was the one to take out the drainage tube right away, so they should have just let us leave after that. The doctor didn't even do anything except basically just say, "Looks good...We'll see you next week." Grrrr!!!
