The comedian has a long road to recovery, which his doctors say will involve at least one more skin graft surgery — but it is too early to tell how bad his injuries will be in the long term. From what Leno’s doctors have said, they will probably have a better idea of the star’s prognosis following his next trip to the operating room. Dr. Peter Grossman, who is treating Leno, said, “We’ll assess what he needs from there and hopefully definitely get his wounds to close.” In a different interview, Grossman told the New York Times, “Our hope is that when everything is all said and done he will do well, but burn injuries are progressive and dynamic and it’s hard to predict ultimately what the final outcome will be at this stage in the game.”
While the long term effects of Leno’s injuries are unknown, Grossman seems confident of the 72-year-old’s personal fortitude and ability to get back to work following a short recovery period. The kind of burns Leno received have been described as the most painful kind of injury, and Grossman has commended the comedian’s high pain threshold, and the attitude he has displayed following the accident. He said, “As I’m getting to learn about Jay, I don’t think it’s going to be months. I really think he’s the type of guy who’s just going to move forward.”
So, as Leno predicted, we could see him getting back to business in a few weeks, even if it may be a little longer before he hits 100% again.
