Splinted!

Today at 11:15, we went to the hospital so that the Collar could be knocked out so he could have his nose fixed. We got home at nearly 3:00, which is a pretty long time for a 10 minute procedure. I guess everyone was having out patient surgery today.

We'll see how it looks on Monday morning, when they take off the splint. I'm not sure if I feel really bad for him, or am jealous that he doesn't have packing or a nose sling. He has his meds, he'll sleep pretty well tonight, and this will all be in the past.

Unexpected

I was planning on posting about Game Boy's trip to Seattle. (He's fine, by the way. Everything is easily remedied.)

I was also planning on posting about the knitting I've finished. (A bath mat and a pair of socks.)

Instead I'm posting about this:The Collar broke his nose. This is right before we went to the ER. (He wanted me to take the pictures--I didn't make him wait. If you click on it, you can see how crooked it is. It hadn't really started swelling yet.

This is a side view from the hospital.

After the ER visit, when he's really started swelling. He was a wee bit spaced out on his pain meds, so please forgive his, um, glassy eyed appearance. Today he's still spaced out (pain relief is good!), and there's swelling, and where the bruising is going to show up.

I'll post more pictures as he decides I should. (I'm sure there will be pictures when his nose is set and splinted.)
