Sorry to dredge this up again, but today's the slice and dice. Starts at 10am PDT. Scheduled for 4 hours. They will be shaving some muscle (something margins something) but hopefully it will look in person like it looked in the MRI and that will be the extent of the muscle removal. Nothing's certain until it's over, though, so good thoughts and what not will be appreciated for the next little while.

Okay - just got off the phone with mom. It's not great news. They did have to take one whole muscle. They were able, at this time, to leave the one going into his butt -- gluteus minimus I think -- so it's not as debilitating as it could have been. The doctor thinks he'll need a cane at first, but that the gluteus minimus will grow and help compensate and, from a cosmetic standpoint, fill in the space.

They don't think it's malignant, but there's still a 40% it will grow back.
