he took a picture and put it in flikr. I don't know his plans to share it with his adoring fans.
I told him it reminded me of every 13 year-old young woman's tedium. He did not have sisters.

Glad to hear that the surgery went well. I hope it is successful. Breathing when sleeping is a useful task. *hugs*

(Don't read this to him if laughing will harm him at this stage.)

How soon will he be able to kiss?

a lttle pucker goes a long way...

The take-home instructions did say to avoid facial movements.
I took that to mean no comedy movies for a while.

Wow, things have changes in the years since my partner had the same surgery. He couldn't swallow much at all for days, let alone *crackers*!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

The_Ogre did not have any tissue in his mouth or throat touched. That is the difference.
