Turning a Corner
And hoping I don’t crash into anyone…:)
Saw Dr. Li yesterday…I think it was yesterday Well, if today is Tuesday then I saw him yesterday. Court had to drive because I guess you’re not supposed to drive on these drugs, and when we got into the examining room, Court hopped into the examining chair and I sat in the guest chair. Dr. Li walked in and stopped short when he saw Courtland.
“Hi! I’m here for my checkup!” said Courtland.
Dr. Li’s mouth moved a little but nothing came out. Then he looked at me and said “I don’t want to get in trouble.” I don’t know what that meant, but I laughed anyhow. And he said “Courtland! We’re always talking about you! Good to see you.”
I wiggled into the plush leather seat and Dr. Li tried to see into my mouth…he should have been wearing a mask–STEENKY! But I guess he’s used to it because he didn’t even grimace. As he was leaning over, his badge caught my eye and I looked at at and started laughing. I reached out and grabbed it and said “How old were you in this picture? Like 10?”
He laughed. Then I asked if I saw pix of him as a kid would I be like “Oh! A mini!” And he laughed again and said “That would be my son. People say he’s a miniature of me.” And now my mission in life is to see his son. Stalk much? *evil laugh*
So he gave me more drugs (did I mention I love him?) and instructed me to get as much laxative in as possible…! I have lost 10 lbs and no BM so maybe after that it will be like 15 lbs!!! *snicker* He said I would be turning a corner soon and he was right. Last night was much better and today I have barely had to take anything. It’s still really weird to be aware of stitches in my throat and swallowing is still something I am voting off the island, but it’s definitely better than the day before.
Courtland just got back from the store and he bought the fruit section. XOXOXOXOX You can’t have him, he’s MINE!

Okay, you’re hilarious. I was googling kasey li. I went over the handlebars at Tahoe and broke my jaw and he pieced me back together. I already had the surgery and it’s not so bad, though still wired shut. The first few appointments with him I wanted to kill him. Gimme some good news or I’ll rip those chains off your neck. He was such a downer sometimes. Basically indicated my jaw was held together with spit and good luck and a car door slamming in Nebraska would dislodge everything forever. But he was more positive last time. And he always seems to know that he’s upset me, because he ends our visits with the same like: “I must compliment you on your excellent oral hygiene. This is after he’s said, you might need braces again. But I still like him. Plus, he’s famous famous. Alright, hope you’re healing.

Tara, yup we’ve got the same doc!
I like his frankness, but sometimes…heh. Sorry about your jaw! Must have been some flight you took over those bars!!! He’s the best though… I hope you don’t need braces. But if you do…well, we can get together when they are off and eat crunchy sticky things
