Wow, all of you are so wonderful and caring. I actually find it overwhelming really, but in a very good way.
My father is doing good..instead of just typing "My father " though I figured it was time to refer to him by name. His name is Jimmy. ( I'd go by Jimmy too if my first name was Sanford )
Since he got the teeth pulled on Wednesday, it's been very hard for him to eat. Obviously he couldn't just have the teeth "pulled" normally, he had to have his jaw bone ground down and have a flap of skin sown over where the teeth were. His face is very swollen, but getting much better. He keeps a cold compress on his face, but he wears his large snow gloves on his hands to keep them from getting cold. It's quite a sight!
Throughout all of this I hope that my humor helps my father. It's always been my way of coping with situations, and this one is no different.
I think for the first time in a few months my father actually gets most of the next week off from any doctor's appointments. He's been wanting to return to work for a while. Which I know will be very good for him.

Marica,
I know that my father needs to bulk up, but with the teeth being pulled and his mouth still..odd for a lack of a better word, from the surgery, we can't really find anything he can actually eat.
Sure, he drinks Boost and Ensure..eats canloads of Vienna Sausages, ( Hey, it's nutrition! =] )
But I would really like to find something that he can feel full on. Surely a human can't survive on processed meat alone.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Again, thank you all for your caring words and positive attitudes.
It really does help.
