>was to receive surgery then, but the doctor thought that with rest and
>time, his swelling would go down and he would just heal. But his neck

>interested in the type of surgery to get an idea, this link will take
>you to a page with a diagram of what he should be receiving.

>but we do not have those emails anymore. But if you have a moment,
