[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1362940, member: 18945"] Well, the die is cast. Surgery is set up for tomorrow morning. They will cut a comparatively large rectangle shaped hole in the lower back of his head--right side and work their way thru tissue and into right side cerebellum, taking the minimum part of brain tissue necessary to get to the tumor. It's going to be 'tricky' but his best/only option with no guarantees of no recurrence or of no loss of motor skill function. Basic recovery is expected to be '7 days to weeks' "depending"... with brain swelling always a risk. The piece they take out of his skull will be ground up and mixed with an organic compound called methyl methacrylate and used to patch the hole in his head. Said the scalp will grow back on it's own. He has asked that none of his extended family make the trip from out of state (meaning me and my 2 sisters) and he's adamant about it, until he's in recovery a few days. As much as that hurts to just have to sit here on my fat useless butt, and tho I've been packed and ready to go for nearly a week, I will abide by his wishes. His kids and wife will be there--not much anyone can do anyway but sit and wait. Oh Lord, be merciful.. [/QUOTE]
