Hello Deb,
Have been thinking about you...sorry to hear that you were so hurt.
Before I forget--make sure that you research lymphedema. My mom's biggest obstacle through everything has been primarily from her neck dissection. Eileen warned me! I just didn't understand frown Don't get me wrong, the trach, the dissection itself has cleared up beautifully, as I'm sure your dad's will. I just wish that we had started therapy sooner for my mom.
