Welcome. There are a lot of us here that have had the Neck Dissection. I still have numbness on my right side of neck. I am now 1 year from that surgery. It does get stiff, but I use warm showers and do stretches. It seems to help.
I hope all will go fine for your husband. Joanna gave you a great place to read up on the dissection.
take care... Thinking of you
