After our very eventful night of no sleep, we decided to head to Enid, OK to Landon’s parents house. His family is so awesome and inviting. Everyone always hangs out at his parent’s house, so technically they don’t have just Landon and Trevin as sons; they also have about 300 other children. Haha.

We hung out with his parents and Joey decided to show everyone the magnum champagne bottles and Caymus Vineyards wine bottle. He began to lift the 60 lb. bottle and walk towards the house. I instantly yelled at him and ran to take the bottle from him! He isn’t supposed to lift anything for over a week. He said it was okay and followed me into the house. He kept working on his computer and asked for an ice pack and some liquid morphine that Landon’s parents kept on hand. He kept taking medicine and kept the ice pack on his chest for over 2 hours and his pain just kept getting worse. Finally he said, “I feel like something is wrong, I keep taking morphine and the pain is just getting worse, it feels like my stich is being pulled out.”
We took him to the bathroom to undo his bandages and saw the most awful thing. His right breast had swollen to look like he had gotten breast implants and he had the worst bruising I have ever seen. Instantly Nichole and I said we have to call Dr. Nuveen, something is seriously wrong. Nichole talked to him on the phone and sent him the pictures we had taken and he told Joey it was not a life or death situation, but he needed to come to the surgery center as soon as he could, because Joey was having internal bleeding. We wrapped Joey back up and headed out to drive an hour and a half to Oklahoma City.

Nichole and I were teaming to pass cars on the highway. I’d say, “Clear,” or “Go,” and she would press the accelerator to go around cars. Joey started to freak out by her driving and told her to slow down and get there in one piece. It was funny at one point, because Nichole started saying, “Shake n’ Bake Baby.” Then I returned with, “If you’re not first, you’re last.” (Quotes from the movie Talladega Nights)
We pulled up at the office and walked Joey in, where Dr. Nuveen and Dr. Wang were waiting for us. They took him back and told us it would be easy to fix and that this happens a lot in men. They said it would take ten minutes. Nichole and I went to wait in the lobby. I watched “Kourtney and Kim Take New York,” while Nichole read magazines. After 40 minutes we started looking at each other worried. We thought it was only supposed to take 10 minutes and now it was 30 minutes after that.

Finally, Dr. Nuveen came out and told us we could go back to the post-op room. He told us that they removed 250 cc’s of blood
and had to cauterize his chest so badly, because he had ripped open so many small blood vessels. They had wrapped Joey so tightly in Ace bandages it looked like it was hard for him to breathe. Joey was completely out of it when we walked in. Since they put people under with Ketamine, he was having hallucinations. He kept thinking he was somewhere else. He kept asking us as we were driving back to Enid. He even said,
“Wow! I’m coming off of drugs,” and “What drugs am I on?” It was an incredibly long drive, because Joey was in so much pain. I felt so terrible because all he kept saying was, “Go slow, this hurts so badly.” We got back to Landon’s parents and Joey relaxed on the couch. Nichole and I had a margarita and some beers before we lay down to go to bed. Thankfully last night was okay. Joey just woke up about four times to go to the bathroom and never once complained about pain. Hopefully everything will heal quickly.
Today (December 17, 2011) is our two year anniversary. Joey and I have had our up’s and down’s and have been through more turns than anyone would ever know. I’m glad we made it to this point and are still together. I Love You Joey!!! Definitely never expected to spend our anniversary like this..
