My retired nurse wife had no idea what he was talking about.
Time for Slow Joe to Go!
Having been in the hospital in April for 3 weeks for Quadruple By-Pass surgery, I can understand what he’s trying to say.
He was probably so drugged up from his brain surgery that he had no idea he had oxygen tubes in his nostrils. They probably talked to him quietly, close up, face to face practically and he mistook the flow of O2 from the tubes as their ‘breathing into his nostrils’.
I had that for a few days after my surgery and it dries out your sinuses something fierce!.................
