Today is day 45 and the wires came off this morning! Doc is worried about the one tooth where the fracture went completely through the jaw. There may be a need for root canal if that thing sustained damage. He said the hygiene was impeccable as he sees patients lose teeth from this ordeal. All seems wells and we are happy to have him back to normal. No one is happier than he is, I'm sure.
Time to fire up the smoker for ribs, fryer for wings and the grill for steak. While the young man maintained his weight by working his *** off with the blender and straw, he's ready for some REAL food.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I realize many people are battling more serious things, but it's good to know we all can look out for one another regardless.
Thanks everyone. Yeah, he's planning to stay on the protein drinks in order to fight back into playing shape. He lost 6 of his 161 lb starting weight. It's amazing how hard he battled through this situation.
That’s awesome to hear he did so well keeping weight on, Casey! I can’t believe it has already been 45 days though I’m sure he feels it’s been much longer!
