Hello, Mark here. I'm watching over Matt for the next couple of days post-surgery. I'm late in posting this because I stayed at the hospital for a while after I was allowed upstairs to see Matt. As the title suggests, he's doing as well as can be expected. Surgery went until around 4:30pm or so, and the doctor told me the procedure went as expected, although there's some additional swelling due to Matt only being off the Celebrex for the past week and a half or so. He says it's temporary and will go down in the next couple of days.
Other than that, Matt's in his room as comfortable as he can be, which is to say: not very. Swallowing is uncomfortable and I imagine coughing is pretty darn painful. Vital-wise, he's okay, reasonably alert, and very tired.
I'll be bringing him home tomorrow around 2:00pm or so, and we have an appointment at 4:00pm with his doctor at the doctor's office. Hopefully if he's up to it he'll make a blog post between coming home and our trip out again, but if not he'll probably touch base with the world tomorrow evening.
