Drew update

When Drew started feeling a little bit better he started getting inpatient with just laying on the couch so instead he sat in a chair and taught me and Clarissa how to put up a tent so we could sweep it out. I'm just glad he started feeling a little better finally when they gave him the right medications.

We tried coming home Sunday (almost a week after surgery) and he lasted about 3 hours before he said it was really hot in our apartment and he didn't have a comfy couch. We called Drew's parents and his mom said come on over again. We ended up staying until the next Saturday because I worked three of the days.

We went to the doctors on Tuesday and they said his mouth looks great and pulled the stints out of his nose. We had thought they weren't putting stints in so we were surprised when this HUGE piece of plastic was pulled out. Drew looked like it hurt pretty bad but the doctor said he was surprised he was smiling when he walked in. I guess most patients a week out are still hating life. Drew never had much bleeding so we are really lucky! He finally wanted to drive so bad that he didn't take a pain pill for 6 hours so he could drive to Smiths. He has his splint off his nose now too and the first couple of days it was crazy to look at him because I never knew him when he had a straight nose! It's super straight now and looks great. He's back to normal two and a half weeks later but says he wouldn't have done it if he knew had bad it would be. He starts work this weekend and already started school. Back to real life :(

Sure glad we decided to wait and do surgery in the summer instead of 10 days before we got married! We're grateful Drew's family let us stay so long too! It was fun to always have entertainment and someone to talk to when Drew hurt to talk.
