So, I'm driving home today, the radio on, and I hear another in the interminable string of stories about Michael Jackson. Every time one of these stories comes on the commentator will refer to the "pop icon" and I cannot help myself, but I always hear "Popeye Con". This is strange, because I definitely consider myself to be pro Popeye despite the fact that I find canned spinach revolting and I can't really commend his taste in women. I mean the only person who could really be in the cons would probably be Bluto (or Brutus, whichever).
But I digress, back to the subject at hand...
Jacob continues to improve as evidenced by the fact that he has pretty much returned to ignoring his parents, like any healthy 18-year-old male. Pictures below are from Denise, taken Wednesday at his surgery follow-up, stitches removed from his scar revision.
On Monday a new chapter starts; he visits his dentist. I don't expect a lot of dental work yet, this will probably be mostly just an inspection and a cleaning. The major rebuilding will probably be a while yet. At some point he will need an implant or a bridge to replace his missing front tooth and he may need some crowns on some other chipped teeth. The surgeons have said that most of that can wait six months or a year. We'll see what the dentist has to say about that.
Then another follow-up with the surgeon next Wednesday. Hopefully we are on the home stretch for most of his treatments. Knock wood, two weeks from tomorrow we expect to have him on his way to HSU.
Thank you for posting the vastly improved photograph.
ReplyDeleteAs for Popeye, I'm sort of "con" Popeye. He looks like he's twice Olive Oyl's age and he's got that creepy, almost lecherous, snicker.
And I am definitely "con" the continuing Michael Jackson news coverage.
I'm so glad others are sick of the "Jackson" thing, it almost pains me to type the word.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see Jake is so much better that he is now starting to ignore you,that's a good sign.
Here's something safer for Jake to do in the future;

I think you will approve.

So fun. We love playing dominoes. Jake would probably want to be the last dominoe for obvious reasons. We need a new mattress badly. But the boys want to buy it in the UK "for obvious reasons".
ReplyDeleteICK. My word verification for that post was a phonetic spelling of "fester". Brings unattractive images to mind.
ReplyDeleteHe looks much better. Glad I'm not there to help get ready for the party. I cleaned up once after Leo--it was like picking up after a horse. No fun!
ReplyDeleteSee you next week.
Aw, yes. Since Nick is home and he thinks Leo is his dog, he was on poo detail. Took him awhile. We have a big yard. We still need to address the holes in the lawn so we don't get sued for a broken ankle. I miss Dannie.
