Brad is all prepped for surgery, waiting for Dr. Barnes to arrive. As you can see by the look on his face, Brad is terribly nervous. I was more nervous than he was! As you can also see, the gown was a bit too small. Thank goodness for the blanket! ;)
He is all ready to go, cute little cap and all!
Yea, we're home! (I hate hospitals) Doesn't look too bad. Dr. Barnes told me that the tumor was a lot deeper than they initially thought. So after cutting through the muscle, and arteries, and an extra fifteen minutes of surgery, they got it. He said that Brad didn't lose too much blood (comforting), and that he now has permanent metal clips in his neck connecting his arteries, but that "lot's of people have them". He also said the tumor looked benign, but they are sending it to pathology to make sure. No heavy lifting for two weeks, and do not overuse left arm.
Lovely bouquet of flowers Brad's work had delivered.
The tape finally came off today. Doesn't look too bad considering there is still swelling and bruising. Brad was supposed to see the doc today, but ended up being selected for jury duty, so he had to reschedule to May 1st. No word from pathology, but we're just going to assume no news is good news.
