Surgery--a holiday tradition?

The bottom picture is of his bone tumor--COOL! (its the white blob in the bottom left corner)

Jake has made an annual tradition this time of year for hospital visits. Last year around this time he had lithotripsy for a kidney stone. Yesterday he went under the knife to fix his nose. He had four procedures altogether, and I can't remember the official procedure names, but he had his nasal passage(deviated septum) straightened out, a bone tumor (not as scary as it sounds) in his sinus removed, a tonsillectomy for his tonsils that were growing back, and some reconstruction on his nose done.

Jake's Medication Schedule

Drugs!

He is certainly in a world of hurt. Jake is currently on 8 medications for recovery. I made him a spreadsheet of times to take each one with directions. His nose was cauterized, so there isn't much bleeding, but he has a little bandage under his nose that makes him look very cute. He won't let me post a picture of it though.

Our wonderful neighbors brought us dinner last night, so we haven't had to leave the house since we came home. It has been great. Thank heavens for Netflix!

I am the kind of person that lives for downtime like this. I am so glad I get to be here with him just hanging out. And he shares his pudding with me.
