Oh, wow! Thank you, everybody, for your support and encouragement. My sister goes in on 7.22 for what they are saying is a total glossectomy and reconstruction and bi-lateral neck dissection. Because of Covid, I was unable to attend any of her pre-surgery appointments. On 7.22, we just drop her off at the hospital and go home. We won't see her at all until she is discharged, 5 or 6 days later. Was anyone else released so soon after surgery?
