A little chatty...

I was thrilled upon my arrival today to find my dad talking up a storm, pretty much to anyone who would listen. He showed me how he could open his mouth a little bit and told me all of the things that he has had to eat since they "freed" the jaw. It has mostly been soft foods but it has all made him very happy. He keeps asking for Cheez-Its. I don't know...Dr. Ferraro (aka Cindi/Mom) seems to think he should wait until Friday when he gets clearance from Dr. Da Fatta.. However, I personally know that one of my brothers (who happens to be tall, loves pizza & wings, and is married to someone named Arlene) smuggled in some chocolate chip cookies for him. I think they had to be crumbled into really small pieces but he still enjoyed them. So I'm not going to tell you which bro that was (I wouldn't want to get him in trouble with Dr. Ferraro), just know that he had good intentions. My dad is just craving real food, especially chips and snacks right now. It's about 10 PM and we're watching TV, and if he were home he would definitely be snacking on something...I guess if he had his way it would be Cheez-Its.
