Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know Jim had his surgery yesterday. Everything went as good as could be expected. He has a morphine pump to keep him sedated. I talked to his nurse this morning, and she said he didn't sleep well last night because of the pain. They gave him Adavan, and it knocked him out. She also said they have to suction out his mouth because it's difficult for him to swallow because of the tubes in him mouth. She said he's been really nice about everything and she also said he should start to feel a little better tomorrow. So, I'm assuming that's when they'll take the radiation seeds out of his tongue. Then he's going to stay at his daughter's. We are so thankful for that, because she's a registered nurse, and this way, our family will be able to help her as much as we all can. I'll keep you updated. God bless you all, Carol
