my dad

My dad goes into the hospital today for an operation tomorrow. A year after finishing chemotherapy and radiation for cancer of his larynx, the tumor came back. He and his doctors decided the best thing to do is to remove his larynx entirely. After the 5-hour surgery he will have to re-learn how to speak. He's lived in France for 10 years without learning how to speak French. I hope he does better with this speech therapy. I will miss his voice. I'm crossing my fingers for a good outcome tomorrow.
