Hello everybody, Jim's Dad here. Jim is out of surgery and is recovering quickly after a 3 1/2 hour operation. He has traded his multiple Doctor Who type headplugs for a new punk look with partially shaved head and interesting scar. Luckily, Jim hasn't had any of the possible side effects such as stroke or temporary double vision. After running some quick internal checks, Jim has declared that he is still Jim, which we are happy about. Late-ish last night he was preparing for some proper sleep. Today we expect him to be preparing to be bored with hospital. The surgery removed about 15% of the growth and the biopsy results could be as late as Tuesday, which is when we will hopefully know what the appropriate treatment approach will be. If there is any more news in the meantime I will post it here. Cheers.
