        I had neck dissection surgery in February at Mayo Clinic to remove a malignant lymph node. To my surprise, I was released as an out-patient shortly after the surgery and experienced virtually no pain afterward. The surgery was on a Friday, had the drain removed the following Monday, and drove home on Tuesday. The several-inch-long scar blends in nicely with the wrinkles on my old neck and is virtually invisible as a result. 😊 I have some loss of feeling on that side of my neck and face but am otherwise doing fine.
