The Surgery
Dallas is going to be fine and when I left him at 10:00 tonight he was smiling. The surgery was long - almost 5 hours - because they needed to remove more than they had anticipated. They removed two salivary glands, instead of one and all the lymph nodes on the left side of his neck. The doctor said that he will most likely lose some of the nerve function in his left shoulder so his golf swing may be affected for awhile. He has some nerve damage to the left side of his mouth so his grin might be a bit crooked. I checked it out and it still looks pretty cute smiling back at me - what more could a girl ask for? Life is good...

So happy to hear that the surgery is over with and the doctors were so thorough. The future looks a lot brighter with this part of your ordeal behind you and we are all cheering for a speedy recovery!
Good news!! Now for some R & R and in no time fish and golf courses everywhere will once again be subject to pursuit by the Big Guy. Thinking of you Dallas and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Dallas and Patty, we have been following your adventure through feedback from others and today Dave L. gave us access to your blog.
We trust that the surgery will deliver the needed results and that Dallas will be back in the swing of things again soon. He can practice for golf by casting with each hand while out in the boat.
All the best and we'll look forward to following your progress.
Jan and Dexter
