Jerry,
I "spoke" with Tramp this morning. The surgery went well, but left him with some speech problems (due to removing a bit of his tongue, and nodes, tonsils, etc) but they feel that they got it all. He will still be starting a round of chemo/radiation just to be sure.
He said he's feeling well enough to head back to work Monday. He's also grateful for all the well wishers on the forum, and I'll send him your best...or you could just send him a PM. I think he'd like that.
Marcia
