Hi..
We are home.. he did very well with the surgery, and it was day surgery. Gosh, I hate that they throw you out of the hospital the next day when you have had neck surgery.. He is not in too much pain, does have a drain and we have to go back next week to have that out. The surgeon took that node and a few others, Tom is bandaged and we are now waiting for the visiting nurse to come to take care of his drain and check on him. Remember the days you stayed in the hospital until you were ready to go home, those days are gone and now the family does the work that nurses should be doing.....I do not mind doing it for Tom.. he is the best, but am I qualified??? We can discuss that at length another day.
I will keep you informed on how he is doing, but for now, he is mending and getting over the general anesthesia which is enough to make anyone feel loopy for days..
