Pole: Will Kev get anything done on his Friday afternoon off, given the big bag of hippie lettuce in his coffee table?

Update: I have made it to the bar.  :bowtie:

 
Austin peeps - where would you recommend sending a fella from Oregon to buy his first pair of cowboy boots?  Buddy visiting his son at UT and has never owned a pair of boots.  Any suggestions appreciated, schtick always welcome.

TannerMom broker her hip Wednesday (she had radiation on her hip a couple of months ago). She just got into a skilled nursing facility for rehab this afternoon.  She’s doing better than expected considering.

TannerFace is still healing.  Facial nerve is about 85% restored so I still have a little Carl Spagler/Buddy Hacket going on. 

Incision area is still swollen. same with ear on that side so can’t sleep on that side. Tough to get comfortable to get to sleep.  2-3 hours of sleep and then awake...then 20 minutes later back to sleep.  Eating isn’t to bad but really chewy things eventually cause ache in jaw.

BUT everything is normal. Saw surgeon on Thursday.  Won’t need to see him for 3-4 months.  UCLA/Westwood is great but so glad I don’t have to make that trip any more.

HeckDad is hanging in there like the stubborn old German that he is.  The medication seems to be helping some, although he still needs a walker to get around the house, and used a wheelchair in and out of church this morning.  But he's able to get out of the house a bit, so that's good.  Isn't scheduled to see the cardiologist again until December, so I don't expect much change one way or the other before then.

Dave came home on Saturday and will continue rehab/recovery there for now.  He's been stuck in a nursing home for the past several weeks while they got some renovations done to the house to make it more accessible for him, as insurance wasn't seeing enough progress to keep paying for inpatient therapy, and his brain needs to heal a bit more before they can jump back in for more intensive therapy anyway.  Now that he's home, insurance WILL cover some in-home therapy and health care, and he's MUCH happier being there than cooped up with all the blue-hairs like he has been.  He still has some eyesight issues and sees a specialist for that next week, and he speaks VERY softly (still not completely sure if that's physical, or if he's just unsure of himself getting the right words out). But overall, he's "there" and the sense of humor seems mostly intact.

They're doing a benefit hog roast in a few weeks to help with expenses. I'll likely pull a couple shifts as bartender.

I could have taken another week at least. I’ve got sick days up the wazoo. But 2 weeks works out perfectly. The kids covered a chapter with the sub. I get to “grade” their work and give a test over the next couple of days.

Hope it all breaks your way soon, GB.

Meh, I’m very, very lucky.  4 tumors on left side of face but all benign.  One more of the same on right side which will be addressed in 3-4 months.  Growth down by my throat/tongue benign after 2 biopsies (“we’re putting that behind us” Dr. Headnecktumor).  

And that my insurance allowed me some of the best care on the West Coast if not the US.

do you have a wicked scar for Halloween and forever?

 
Dave's family posted this with a pretty good summary of the journey to this point. My wife and I make a brief appearance in the last :30 or so.

Not included there is that he had another eye surgery today to hopefully improve his vision.

Lost dad today. He was in severe decline the last week or so and the pain and misery, I think finally caught up to him. Of course I am sad he won't be around anymore, but I'm pretty happy that his pain has ended. I hope I never get close to where he's been the last year or two. I'm worried about my mom being all alone at 92, but we'll try and keep her happy and going as long as she wants. 

I know a few of you guys met him, so i felt it was proper to update here.

Aw, my friend.  I'm sorry but also glad that he's moved on from the pain.  Love to you, mom, and the family.
