[UPDATE] ... and no, I'm not okay
They're going to take half my tongue.
Then they're going to re-build it from skin & fatty tissues & blood vessels from my left forearm.
Then they're going to re-build my arm with a skin graft from my left thigh.
They're also going to cut my throat from ear to ear and take out all my lymph nodes and whatnot in my neck.
I'll probably have a tracheotomy for five or so days because of the swelling and I'll definitely have a feeding tube for that time.
And THEN, a month after that, I'll have both chemo AND radiation.
I'll be in the hospital for seven to ten days. When? I find out tomorrow or Friday.
