Bruce gives birth
Bruce gave birth, nasally, this afternoon to two stents and is resting/sleeping, post delivery. And a delivery it was. Those babies were the length of your little finger and about as big around and were stabilized in place with a suture that you couldn't see, inside his nose. I had asked him earlier if he wanted me to wait for him in the waiting room but he said "You can come back"--translation "Come back so they won't kill me back here" and he knows I love gross stuff like this anyway. Hey....if you're a nurse, it's a requirement, and the grosser the better. He wanted to snap a picture (with his phone) of his stents lying on gauze in an emesis basin after removal, but I told him that was a tad grosser than even he'd want to see, once he's off his pain meds. They were pretty gnarly looking and since removal stimulated the nerves at the back of his throat, his throat is really hurting. He didn't even eat dinner--just a little gelato, thank you, AB,-- and an ice water gargle. Owww. He's counting down until he can have his pain meds again. The good news? He can really breathe through his nose and that charming nasal whistle and click are gone. Woo hoo!
