Hope your DH will be ok. How will this effect his job?
I have done something very wrong cause I am having a really hard time moving my left leg. My hip blows up with pain if I do anything. And my ribs have swollen again. Breathing is painful. And I have a catch that goes from the bas of my skull, down my neck and to my left shoulder.
Prayers would be greatly appreciated.
NJN, praying for your DH and you.

He had a small surgical procedure at the doctors office today. He wasn't even put under. Just lidocaine to the area and do it. A few minutes in he passed out. Then he turned white as a ghost. I've never seen someone so pale in all my life. Then his body became very rigid. His fingers curled outward. Then he started seizing and convulsing. Then a feral guttural moaning and howling came out of his mouth. They were trying to keep him on the table. He was rolling off. They had to stop for awhile. He was gone gone gone. He just says he was having a really nice dream. The doctor and nurse were super nice but they knew I was a nurse. They knew I knew what was wrong. They kept looking from DH to me and back. They were trying their hardest not to panic. I was trying my hardest not to scream. I have never seen my husband like that before. It terrified me. He finally came back around but they weren't sure they were going to finish up. He said he wanted them to but the doctor said it was ultimately MY decision. I told them we could go ahead but at the slightest bit of trouble we were stopping. The rest of it was uneventful but I was stressed out.

Sounds scary. Surprised they let you stay in the room. No doctor here will let anyone in the room during a procedure. Glad you were there though. Well. Sort of. At least you were not completely freaking out.
Is he ok now?

Holy cow NJN. That is scary. I am so glad everything worked out with your DH. I will be thinking happy thoughts for you both the next few days and sending good vibes your way.

He's fine now. He's laughing and says he took a nice nap. I told him I was mad at him for scaring me so badly. He said he felt bad for that. I guess I'm just not used to seeing him like that. I felt so helpless. The doctor was really good. He was fine with me being in there.

Ever notice how all those lawn inflatables are so pretty at night. But in the morning it looks like a frat house after a party or a massacre?

Thanks. I was terrified! Really. Being a nurse is all cool until it's YOUR husband up there! He's fine now and just needs to heal.

NJN did the lidocaine have epi in it? I have a reaction similar to that if I get epi. It's really scary. I'm glad do is ok now.
No. Just plain lido. The doctor thinks it might have been because he hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours.

It was! I was trying so hard to be calm and the doctor and nurse kept looking at me like, "Um this is bad. Really bad." But they wouldn't say the words. I kept waiting for them to call for help but he came around. It was insane watching his body contort like that though.

Oh you just wait until I get back to my parents' house. She lives across the street from a house where they have over 14 inflatables (at last count). Some even play music. I will take a pic when I get there and post it. It's SO over the top.

I don't feel good just reading about it. Wow. I would have been terrified.

So I can finally talk about it! Here! Because I can't keep going on and on about it with DH because he's like "I feel so bad." I have to admit, outwardly I was calm. Inwardly, I was terrified. Totally freaked out.

We have a Santa and a penguin in a Santa hat. Usually the penguin falls over and looks like he's either doing something nasty to Santa or bowing at his feet.

Wait until I take the pic and post it. It's like a Griswold Family Christmas over there. My mother is old school and she is appalled from Thanksgiving until they take it down in January.

Our inflatables have a mind of their own. I swear they never stay where we put them. And when it rains or the wind blows you may as well give up.

I want to put a couple of the plastic ones in the yard. And then put a couple more and then some more. All over a period of time.

We haven't put up our inflatables. I will have to take a picture of them when we do.

Thanks! It helps a lot to vent on here. I had put a roast in the crock pot before we left so we got to come home and just settle in. I've been bringing him coffee and brought him a plate of dinner to the couch. We're just taking it easy. I feel so tired now though. I think my adrenaline is all gone.

They were really nice. They didn't apologize during it of course but afterwards they were very nice. They felt bad. I actually like the doctor and the nurse was so cute. She kept asking if we had any questions. She told me she felt really bad for me because she'd have been upset if that were her husband. The doctor apologized and said he was sorry DH had such a hard time. He said it's rare but it happens.

We have an inflatable frosty. My mom loves the frosty. Frosty however looks like he's on a bender most days, draped over the deck railing. Last week, it was windy. When it was deflated, the wind blew it under the railing and when it inflated, frosty was decapitated. It took me a good 10 minutes wresting it in the rain to get it from under the railing. Frosty's lucky mom loves him, or I would have taken my knife to him 👿

Theres an inflatable santa biker on the roof of our neighbors house. Complete with sunglasses. I love it! We had an inflatable santa but gave it to the other neighbors. They were appreciative.

DH and I took DS to meet Santa today. A mommy friend of mine swore that DS would freak when he saw Santa. Nope. Not a tear in sight. We also stopped at the play area since we were in the mall anyway. DS ran around for a good 45 minutes, made some friends, and chased the girls.
