My dad's surgery to remove the sarcoma in his right bicep was yesterday and I was happy to hear that it went very well. There were multiple outcomes that could have occurred including amputation, nerve damage or loss of the use of his hand. The surgeon was very pleased to relay to my dad that none of those had happened. Instead, my dad got the best-case scenario, removal of the tumor and muscle without disturbing the vascular or nervous system. He was obviously extremely relieved to hear that news.
I really appreciated that Aunt Susie and Uncle Dean were able to take him yesterday and pick him up this afternoon. It was very nice to have a family member there who was positive and could let us know what was happening before my dad woke up. Hopefully, now my dad can focus on healing and recovering. It will take some work in rehab and several follow-up appointments, but thankfully, the worst is behind him now.
