Update on my Moi....
He will be staying in the hospital a few more days since the swelling in his neck has gotten worse, making it very difficult to swallow. It is a pretty panicky feeling when even the saliva won't go down. The doc said this is not unexpected considering the extent of the surgery and will start him on some meds to help reduce the swelling.
He is otherwise progressing...walking on his own, and humoring me and the staff. We even had a movie date last night - watching "Next" (Nicholas Cage) on the computer.
Moi sends his love and gratitude to our forum family, as do I.
Hugs and butt squeezes for the broom.
