UPDATE: My dad came home yesterday afternoon about 1 while I was at the dentist. I saw him last night around 11 when I got home from work. He's got a track of stitches entirely crossing the middle/right side of his face, hairline to chin. He can only talk out of the left side of his mouth, and he's drinking slim fast shakes and ensure through straws because eating is too painful.
All in all, his face is really pretty gross. But he's doing okay, and we're watching Captain America right now, so who can be grumpy when someone is being so positively American onscreen?
Thanks for all the comments and well wishes, you guys are lovely.
ETA: I told my dentist and hygienist about the whole thing, and the first question my dentist had was "well did he get the duck?" When the hygienist and I laughed uproariously about it for five minutes or so, the dentist looked kind of embarrassed and said "when you tell that story to your folks, tell them Todd [the hygienist] asked about the duck."
