Update about Dad

Thanks so much to those of you who have offered your prayers and well-wishes for my family. Dad had his surgery yesterday, and came through it very well. He was making smart-assed comments in no time. He has a bandage on his neck and head that looks like the hood-like things nuns wear that only shows their faces. He says he's in no pain. We'll get the biopsy results next Friday. He didn't say it, but we (mom and I - dad doesn't talk about it) don't think the doctor is optimistic. I'm trying not to think about it, but it's adding to my difficulty sleeping.
