I made it!

Got out of surgery last night, after 7 hours!

I look like Frankenstein, but oh well.

Clean margin on primary of 1mm. (Right tonsil)

Two nodes involved, encapsulated.

Waiting on path results.

Face is numb on right side, right ear and shoulder is numb.

No problem lifting arm over head.

Smile is cockeyed, but oh well.

THANK YOU for all the prayers and well wishes!!

Love, Michael
