Update Monday pm: Buzz has been in much pain and unable to chew normally until tonight; ate soft diet yesterday and today; He allowed me to call E.R. M.D. on call at Baptist Sunday morning, who suggested we contact surgeon today, and stated that the problem is likely related to 'scar' tissue...and nothing to stress about. Soooo, Buzz wants to wait and see if he continues to improve tomorrow. (Read: he doesn't WANT to do anything about it (!) )
Lord knows, I can't make him. I can only pray that the pain is related to 'scar tissue' and that the pain will lessen.
Thanks to all of you for your replies!
