Poor Brian

Well we have had an exciting last few months. I guess Brian thought my surgery looked like so much fun so he decided to have one of his own. Since we have been married I have slept with ear plugs. There are a lot of reasons for that but one of the major reasons was my husbands snoring! Well, good bye snoring! Brian had a septoplasty which surgically repaired his deviated septum YAY!!!!

They were so kind to allow me to go and see Brian after they got him all hooked up to IV's and stuff. As I was approaching his bed, the nurse cam up to me and said "Your husband did so well with the needle." Oh boy, I knew what that meant! For those of you who dont know Brian is not so good with needles and blood, (I guess opposites do attract!) as I rounded the curtain this is what I saw. So sad!


Brian said that the IV was making him freeze, so the nurses loaded him up with some heated blankets. He is so spoiled!


Right before being wheeled away, cap and all! Smiling on the outside and stressing on the inside, what a trooper!


Here is Brian after surgery, so miserable!


Brian is doing well now, once the swelling goes down some more we will get some "after" pictures up.

Must be a Holmstrom-guy thing, cuz Daniel absolutely freaks out at the sight of needles and blood in a doctors office, even on movies and stuff. I love that I get to comfort him when he's all squeemish.

Thanks so much for posting these pictures!! I am thinking about having this same sugery to help me breath better. Did Brian have polyps too? I have some of those in my sinuses...yuck! Yes, it must be a Holmstrom thing because Steve HATES needles and blood too.
