JetAgeHobo, you are exactly correct that this surgery will not be as bad as the previous one. I had some mouth work done and the modified radical neck, and it was almost the "walk in the park" I was told to expect. No pain. Up and around the next day. Driving everyone else nuts because I wanted OUT. You have to figure it wasn't a big deal if I had that much energy. My prediction? You are about to trade a few lymph nodes for a long and happy life!
