So Greg has had a crooked nose all of his life and he decided to get it fixed; he thought that it would be cool to breath easily out of his nose for the first time in his life. So on Thursday we went to the hospital to have it done. Everything went pretty well until Greg realized that he couldn't feel his right arm. It was completely numb, apparently he was laying on it funny and compressed a nerve. The doctor didn't seem very concerned, he said that the feeling would come back within a couple of weeks. Greg did not think that sounded ok at all. A couple of weeks without being able to feel his right arm!!! Greg thought that that was an awfully long time to not be able to play his guitar. Fortunately it only took until Saturday for the feeling to come back.
From my perspective I thought that all went very well, Greg only has three stitches in a small triangle on the underside of his nose, all the other stitches are inside and hidden. The stitches are also so small that they are hard to see, if they weren't blue they might be invisible.
Now he is just working on healing. He still hurts quite a bit and is feeling a little sick to his stomach but otherwise much better. His nose is still swollen so he can't breath out of it too well but our hopes are high that soon he will have a new straight and functioning nose. :)
