...is out of surgery, they killed the tumor, and the Dr.'s feel they do have clean margins on what they took out!! It will be several days for actual biopsy results, but it looks good! He will be in the hospital for a couple of days, but I'm sure he will check in soon.

I just got the call from his mom, and she had great news to report to pass along!

Way to go Jim! See ya soon bro!!

Daughter coming home in 2 weeks from Iraq. That trip is maybe, So's OSH but save me the seat

Thanks all going to rest now right now hurts pretty bad gotta figure out how they want me to take dressings off but may have to wait until tomorrow.

Special for all the positive stuff.
