Wednesday, June 3rd

Good morning. Just wanted to give you a quick update for today. We are all settling in to our summer mode of relaxation and spending more time together. So far, we have not gotten on each other's nerves too much and the girls have only complained slightly of being bored - ha! We have lots of little projects to do around the house, if we get in the mood to complete them : )

We went to our dentist's office on Monday. He was very interested to see the results of Steve's surgery. They discussed things he might want to talk to Dr. Grist and Dr. Roser about regarding tongue movement and teeth implants. The dentist, Dr. Rose, was able to help Steve with one thing. You see, when they did Steve's surgery in January, they used the leg tissue in his mouth to replace the tissue they removed with his jaw. So, guess what? The leg tissue is growing hair in his mouth! The hairs have gotten so long that they tickle and irritate Steve's throat. So, Dr. Rose trimmed the hairs. Afterwards, he told Steve that in his 40 years of dentistry he had never done that before. Nothing like going to the dentist and ending up getting a "haircut" : )  (Steve says it really has made a difference!)

On Thursday we have a check-up appointment with Dr. Grist (Steve's oncologist). Then on Friday we will see Dr. Roser (the oral surgeon). I will let you know how it all goes.  

Have a great day!
