Scrappy survived his surgery, is home now, and is recovering well. Both of his lower fang teeth that were broken off in his abandoned, and abused past have been dug out of his jaw bone and are now gone. The doctor cut open the abscess that broke open twice and cleaned it all out and sewed him back up. He appeared to be VERY happy to be back home, and I'm hoping he won't be in too much pain tomorrow morning when the pain medication wears off. His stitches will have to be taken out in 14 days from now.
All the doctors (and assistants) could say when I picked him up was: "what a personality" this cat has - they loved him. They said that when he came too he was all purring, and "rubby" all over them.
The doctor said that the infection was VERY bad, and his gums/jaw was all full of puss and infection, and kept saying that he is going to be a VERY happy cat now.
He's sleeping now, but was pretty disoreinted when I got him home but extremely happy to see me, and rub on me. They didn't give me any pain pills, so I hope he won't be in too much pain tomorrow morning when the pain medicine wears off. Here are some pics of the big ole purring/rubbing lug (with the first pic being how I found him when I came home from work last Thursday) :
