Hey yall,

Just wanted to ask that yall keep me in your prayers. I have the surgery tomorrow to remove the scar tissue caused by my trach tube. If all goes as planned it will only take about 30 minutes and I will come home without the trach tube. : )

LOL JIm.

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.
