Ok yall, I had the surgery and all went well. I can breath better than I have breathed in quite awhile however I didnt get the tube out due to swelling caused by radiation. Doc said to give it a few days and he wants me to cap it over the weekend and if I can wear it capped he will take it out then. There is no doubt that I will be able to wear it capped. I can hold my finger over the end of the tube which is the same thing as it being capped and, like I said, can breath better than I have breathed in a long time.
