3 weeks, one day post-op

It is amazing what a difference 3 weeks can make. Stu is at home alone this week, as I returned to work on Monday. He is a little bit bored and feels stuck at home. Yesterday was his last dose of steroids (yeah!!), and his last dose of seizure medication. His double vision is getting much better (most likely a side effect of the seizure medication). He is wearing a ball cap rather than a do-rag, which is much improved. Most days he takes a shower and shaves (yeah again!)

The nose-picking OCD is not better. In fact, he has picked so much that Stu now gets regular nose bleeds. This morning I walked into the bathroom and found him standing at the sink with blood everywhere--on the floor, on counter, all over his face, and a trash can full of bloody tissues. It looked like a crime scene. As I was cleaning the floor with a wet rag and Chlorox, I could only imagine that CSI would still know that there was blood everywhere, and they would still suspect the wife. The "bloody nose" excuse just wouldn't cut mustard....

So, Stu is going to the ENT doctor today for official treatment of the bloody nose and hopefully to decrease the nose-picking habit. More to follow...
