Pain in the Neck

July has been a very crazy month for us. A couple of months ago, Kris noticed a lump in his neck. He made an appointment for his yearly physical to get it checked out. Immediately, this all spiraled into several doctors visits with the end result of getting it removed. He scheduled his surgery for July 17th. We checked into the hospital at 1 pm. He was taken into surgery at 2:15, and My father-in-law and I went to the waiting room to wait for the 2 to 3 hour surgery. Patients came and went and we still sat! Five hours and 15 minutes later, the surgeon came out and told us that all went well, it was just a little bigger than expected. Kris recovered remarkably well, and the scar is healing well also. The biopsy results came back last Tuesday, and all is normal! A scar is a small sacrifice to pay, and we are elated with the news! You don't realize how quickly life can change, so take a minute to reflect on your blessings and give your family members a kiss. Life is GOOD!
