So encouraging, thanks guys. ENT came by and said there's nothing else they need to do. (With the exception of follow ups). I keep thinking of all you and the inspiration you provide my father and I.
We're just hanging in the hospital. I call my dad "tube neck" because when he walks the tubes thwap on his neck. My uncle calls him the predator. The neck and submandibular regions are puffing.
Now, for the emotional side. Before his surgery he convinced himself and me that he may have more lumps in his neck.
One day and ray of sun at a time.
