The Opertation

Sorry about the delay with getting to update you on Geoff but it has  been a very long and emotional couple of days.

Geoff had the operation yesterday … it was a long 10 hour ordeal. They have removed part of his tongue at the base and part of the soft palette. They have done a full neck dissection on the left and a large removal of flesh from his leg. He has a trachea and a feeding peg. They are hopeful that they have got good margins for him to be cancer free but these results will not be in for 7 to 10 days.

He is doing ok today. Relatively pain free, thankfully. They have had him up and he has had a small walk around ICU.

He has not really slept due to the discomfort. The nurse says they hope to have him trying to speak a little tomorrow, so that is really promising.

This evening has been a bad time for him due to the swelling but has the best of care and hopefully everyday will get easier.

I will update tomorrow.

You are welcome to leave a comment for Geoff that I will pass on to him.
