Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. Clark is doing very well. His flap looks good and he is so happy with the results. There is swelling but that will resolve in time. Clark is so enthusiastic that he said he feels like a new man, very positive. He is even talking about lining up some vacations. So far, he does NOT have that stabbing pain. The room he is in has a nice view of the trees and Penn's campus. The unit has an outside terrace where he can go to get some sun and fresh air. The nurses are wonderful, too. He is supposed to come home by Saturday.

The PS took the flap from his torso, from below the scapula down to his side under his arm. Big incision! He also took some muscle. It is incredible what can be done! All of that is now on the right side of his face (jaw and cheek) and fills in the concavity he had before this surgery.

I am so happy!!!!!
